Thanks again for all your help. I have ordered FTM 2006 deluxe 5 with pics on box from e bay for £9.99 & it has 3 months free UK ancestry. It seemed to be the best deal and was in UK£ not dollars. I thought I was never going to be able to decide and am fairly technically challenged especially when it comes to the computer(at the 11th hour had to find out whether we had XP - what's that ?) |

2006 and v 16 are the same program. It is only the packaging and marketing that are different. |

Well mine has the picture of the people on the front and I have never had any trouble with this version of 2006. |

i have the 2009 version with over 2000 names in my tree and it doesnt like it, it keeps crashing and takes forever to merge information from web search - i have emailed support three times but have still not had a response |

2008 was a completely new program and not an upgraded version of 2006, or version 16 as it was also known. |

I would have said you would be just as well to by version 2006, as this lets you back up to internet storage, create your own web page and do more things than the 2009, ;;; |

I am thinking of buying new FTM software(have v old version of ledgends and not getting on with it). Following advice on here, I thought of getting 2009 FTM. I have looked on internet and how do I tell whether I would be buying the 2009 version or the 2008 version(which everyone seems to say should be avoided) as although the picture on the box says 2009 the spec says 2008. If the box has 'upgrade' on it - is this all I need to buy ?(as I don't already have FTM) - i.e. would this be the right thing? |
