Family Tree Maker Special Interest Group (SIG)

Join host Stan Wells as he leads a step-by-step walk-through of Family Tree Maker (FTM), one of the most popular genealogy software programs available today. FTM helps you organize your research, build family trees, add photos and documents, and even sync with Ancestry.com.

In this series, we’ll work our way through the Family Tree Maker Companion Guide, exploring each feature in detail to help you get the most out of the software.

We’ll begin with Chapters 12 and 13 in September, then start fresh with Chapters 1 and 2 in October 2025. From there, we’ll continue through the guide chapter by chapter through May 2026 (with a break in December).

Whether you’re just getting started or looking to sharpen your skills, this series is a great way to learn FTM alongside fellow genealogists.
