Hello Everyone Would any one please be able to inform me if Familytree Maker 8 is out yet and if so how much is it to buy? I live in Rydalmere Sydney NSW and was thinking of purchasing. Regards Grahame

Grahame and fellow listers, In view of the current discussion over FTM I am putting this to the list for information. Do not regard this as an advertisement! ******************************************************************* Hi there, Yes indeed the 8.0 version is out. The Australian distributors are the GUM Group (Genealogists Using Microcomputers) here in Melbourne. I suggest that you checkout the homepage on: http://www.vicgum.asn.au/ OR E-mail: info@vicgum.asn.au. Victorian GUM (Genealogists Using Microcomputers) Inc. is an association of family history researchers using computers to help them in their research. VicGUM is based in Melbourne, and has over 700 members around Australia. Part of its objectives are to assist members with information about hardware and software packages that can aid family history research. Click on "Software Sales" to find out price and availability details of the packages that they handle plus a description of what they contain. I must disclose that I am a fairly new member of this group (2 years) as I purchased version 7.0 of FTM in June and am slowly learning how to use it. > Would any one please be able to inform me if Familytree Maker 8 is out > yet and if so how much is it to buy?
