My favorite thing about FTM 06 is the way you can easily copy sources from one family member to another. You can type it in on the head of house & then copy to his wife & all the children very easily. With the older version I had to copy/paste the citation page (on census citations I put ex: "Image 23 of 42 @ Ancestry.com's online census images"), and then go back & copy/past the citation text to everyone. Was a real pain & I always felt compelled to go back & double-check everyone to ensure I hadn't missed one of the kids! What I don't like is the fact that the burial location no longer shows up on the family page. I depended on that and liked being able to see if I already knew where someone was buried. Now you have to go into facts to see it. Told them about it and the guy I spoke to was supposed to pass it on for consideration in future improvements. Overall, I absolutely love 2006. And here I thought having 23 sources for my McCollough GGgrandfather was a good deal. They must not have considered Becky when determining the number of source citations to allow!!
