Family Tree Maker (FTM) is one of the most trusted genealogy software tools, helping people preserve their ancestry and connect generations through organized family records. However, many users overlook the importance of keeping their software updated, which can lead to performance issues and data loss over time.
By regularly updating your Family Tree Maker, you ensure access to the latest features, security patches, and compatibility improvements. Updates often include fixes for bugs, enhanced syncing options with Ancestry, and improved tools for building and printing your family tree. These enhancements not only make the software smoother but also safeguard your valuable family data from corruption or sync errors.
Another key benefit of updates is data synchronization. When Family Tree Maker communicates efficiently with online ancestry databases, your research becomes more accurate and up-to-date. You can easily merge new records, avoid duplicates, and keep your family history precise and organized.
If you’re unsure how to check for or install updates, our Family Tree Maker Support team is here to help. Our certified technicians provide step-by-step guidance, remote troubleshooting, and ongoing maintenance support — ensuring your family research stays uninterrupted.
Your family’s story deserves the best tools and care. Keep your software updated and let us handle the technical side so you can focus on what matters most — celebrating your heritage.
