Key Features: Store and Organize
Back up your Family File to CD
Preserve your heritage by protecting your valuable Family Tree Maker data from
viruses, hard drives crashes, and corrupted floppy disks. In the event that
you should ever need your backup copy, you can restore it from the CD in seconds.
Copy and Paste Between Family Files
Now you can copy and paste individuals, family branches, or an entire tree from
one Family File to another. New individuals are pasted exactly where you specify,
and merged with any identical individuals in that file, so you don't have to
worry about relationship errors.
View Two Family Files Simultaneously
View, compare, and edit Family Files side-by-side. You can check for similarities
and differences between your files and ones you receive from family members
or other genealogists, before or after merging.
Customize Family Tree Maker with Tabbed Preference Panels
Make Family Tree Maker run the way you want it to. Tabbed preference panels
make it easier for you to find the tools and resources you want to control.
Merge Family Files More Easily
It's never been easier to append or merge data from one Family File to another!

to complete a merge. Whether you are merging two files, duplicate individuals,
or importing new data into your file, you'll be able to do it in just seconds.
