| Enjoy improved searching and merging |
Change web-search criteria in various ways without ever changing your data in Family Tree Maker®. Merge Ancestry.com records and images with any individual in your records and edit citation information before merging. Another helpful addition: all records stored in Family Tree Maker® 2006 can now be linked directly to the related source records on Ancestry.com. |
| Manage sources better than ever before |
View all the sources associated with a single fact or person in the new, Source Usage Report. Easily connect a single citation to multiple facts with the new Copy and Paste feature. You can also quickly identify and replace duplicate master sources without losing any information. |
| Streamline your data entry |
The new and improved Edit Individual box simplifies the process of entering basic information about a person from the Pedigree view. It also makes it easier for you to see related sources for that person. And now you can enter four times as many notes in the Notes field — up to 1MB of text. |
| Make sure you never lose your family history |
Now you can quickly jump to the people in your tree that you view most frequently by creating bookmarks or viewing your editing history. Bookmarks are set by you to identify the individuals you access frequently. The History feature automatically tracks the last 30 individuals you edited, enabling you to jump to recently changed people. You can use bookmarks and history in both the Family View and the Pedigree View. |

sources and provides you with links to available online research
sites for each ancestor on the list.
