Any program would be compatible with your gedcom data. All programs are based on the standard. They may be updating the standard soon and then compatibility may be an issue. I don't know that for sure.

The great old FTM 2006 won't work on new computers. That's why I switched to familysearch.org's PAF program. Free, reliable and compatible with my FTM gedcom data. -----Original Message----- From: Terry T Sent: Sunday, February 19, 2012 2:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NORCAL] FTM upgrade or...

I'm faced with having to get some version of FamilyTreeMaker and am wondering what would be my best option. I have been using FTM 2006 and am completely satisfied with it. However it is on my old computer and I need to install the program on the new one. I don't want a bunch of bells and whistles...just the bare bones. I use it is as a database ... a place to collect my research. IF newer versions of the program included better search options within FTM (not online...I can do that myself), then I'd be intrigued. Any suggestions? Joan ----------------------------------------- NORCAL ARCHIVES: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ Enter NORCAL. Browse by month.
