Margaret,       Not to confuse readers, are you writing about version 2010, and version 2009, and version 2006?  I have version 9, and have had it since abt. 2000, but would like to buy version 10, not to be confused with FTM 2010.      I see them listed on ebay, and will probably buy mine there.   Marc --- On Sat, 8/14/10, Margaret McNab <margmcnab@rogers.com> wrote: From: Margaret McNab <margmcnab@rogers.com> Subject: Re: [Lanark] Computers & Genealogy programs To: lanark@rootsweb.com Date: Saturday, August 14, 2010, 6:19 PM Hi Jeanne, I installed and tried FTM 9.I did not find it friendly.

I hope I haven't confused anyone. The ones I had are FTM 2006  FTM 2008 then  FTM 2009 and then FTM 2010. I still have them. Fortunately I only installed them on my desk top.I didn't install them on my lap top. That was how I knew some of the information was missing and went back to my lap top and FTM 2006. Having said that I am not a genius on the computer so it could have been me.!! Cheers.
