Meet Family Tree Maker

Family Tree Maker

It's been thirty-five years since Family Tree Maker was born, and each new edition takes this grand old brand to new places its original creators could only have dreamed of. Where your relatives fact-check your tree on their phones and tablets halfway across the world. Where the interface grows in just the right places to go easy on your eyes. Where your Mom's wedding album becomes a narrated interactive documentary filled with her candid thoughts about each and every guest. Where a built-in resource center has what you need most, from professional genealogists to helpful books and rare archives. All this and more in the new world of Family Tree Maker. We think you're going to like it here.

Bradley Greer

Bradley has been studying genealogy with his grandmother since he was ten years old. He has been presenting Family Tree Maker at the Auckland Family History Expo since the release of FTM 2017 when he was just 11. We couldn't be more pleased to have such a youthful, yet seasoned presenter showing off the program! The 1:30 PM session on Saturday will give an overview of Family Tree Maker, while the one at 1:30 PM on Sunday will be a workshop, where people can bring their laptops for a tutorial on how to get set up with the program.

Bradley will be in-person for his presentations.
