Greetings,
I am a fan of FamilyTreeMaker2006 specifically because it has the genealogy report. I am not able to find a way to generate this type of report in the newer versions. Any help would be appreciated.

Victor -- Family Tree Maker hasn't come with a printed many for at least 10 Versions, give or take a version.
In the information on this website, I have listed a number of other resources for information and help on the Family Tree Maker program.
That PDF file, on your Installation CD may help, but you can print it and don't have to read it Online.
There is an online tutorial for 2010. The Help menus are useful.
Yes, there is a learning curve, but with a number of versions, where there have been major changes, there has been a learning curve.
If you have a specific problem you want help file, PLEASE start a new Discussion, provide some details and we can help you.
Good luck,
Russ

Hello - just to introduce myself. I'm new to Family Tree Maker having been given FTM 2009 (UK) in August and recently updated to FTM 2010. I managed to transfer my old file from 'Family Tree v.3' via GEDCOM via MyHeritage freeware. Have added lots of info. since and used many of the Ancestry hints (leaves) but am still having a number of problems which I will list as separate discussions.
Greetings to all (and thanks in anticipation).
Pauline

Ann,
In Family Tree Maker, look at the person with the children who shouldn't be there, go to the People Workspace, Person Tab, Relationship Tab. What is the relationship between this person and the children?

I downloaded FTM 2010 yesterday, and copied a family project from TMG. I discovered that it had added children to a person had did not have any! I doubled checked the information in TMG just to make sure that the information was correct, and copied the family project again. It did the same thing again. Has anyone else had this problem?
