    Gold Upgrade

    I have been using the Family Tree Heritage 15. That product is not fancy nor does it have the best interface. However, it is very powerful and feature upgrades occur every year like this one for the Gold version. This is needed upgrade because it integrates better with the Family Search website where you search for your ancestors. There are additional new features, as well.

    Easy to Use

    I really liked the color coding feature. It allowed me to more easily see the line of heritage for both sides of my family, which bodes well for a visual person like me. I could add notes to each ancestor also which was a cool way to connect similarities across generations. Overall, pretty easy to navigate. Happy with my purchase.

    The only difficulty I’m having is incorporating my old Family Tree Maker family tree info into the new Family Tree Heritage software. The directions are not very ckear. Otherwise I’m excited about this new software. I have around 400 family members in my tree already.

    I love this genealogy program

    I have been using this genealogy program for at least the last 20 years and have continued to upgrade it from time to time. Everything is where it needs to be and you can move around and find things easily. The print reports are fantastic. It is a great price compared to some other programs which put things where they don’t need to be making everything confusing. This one has the power you need with everything in the right place. I just wish I could sync it with Ancestry.com.

    How to set up a family tree diagram

    The family tree program gave a lot of detail for family information.

  17. Craig L. Johnson

    the reporting is a little hard. I have not figure out the reports in the software. it is a learning curve. I would like to be able to print out everyone in the tree for a family reunion. I am still trying to figure that out.

  18. L. Johnson

    Software was easy to install. Once installed the user interface was easy to understand and similar to an older version I had used of Family Tree Maker. In fact, so far I have found this easier to use than the other one.

    Program Installed with Help from Company

    I was initially unable to install the software. With some help from the company and a little extra effort, it installed. On working with it, it’s exactly what I was hoping for. I’m glad that the makers of Family Tree Heritage Gold 16 gave me the extra assistance needed.

  23. Carol Kaphingst

    Family History

    Softwear is a little difficult to use, although I am learning as I go. Have only had it a couple months but have accomplished alot with it. I do wish it would have came with a book, instead of having to go to the help menu to learn how to do somethings. I could then study the book away from my computer while relaxing.

    Very good

    Still trying to navigate through it. Easy so far but some information is really not necessary for me but maybe it’s useful for others. I wish I didn’t have to back & forth to enter info or look for ways to enter info. I do like the that it is a little more modern than some apps.

  27. Judy Richonne

    Relatively intuitive for the new user

    This makes keeping track of so many names and connections very easy!

    Family Tree Heritage Gold 16

    When this gift was given to my daughter for Christmas she could not use it as it came in a CD. Her laptop does not have a CD drive. I did communicate with the seller who sent an email with an activation code in order to download the software. Issue resolved and product is working

  29. Ronda Robbins

    Was able to use 10 years of previous data

    Imported an old gedcom file my parents saved, restoring all of their data. I had a problem connecting to FamilySearch for about a day, but they fixed that problem quickly. I also needed help using the collaboration feature, which they help me install.

    I was able to import from family search without issue .I am not very tech savvy and am able to navigate this program without issue .It loaded without a hiccup and I am very pleased .I had been using family tree maker and my old computer offline putting off the upgrade . I am very pleased with the upgrade . Wished I had done it long ago !

  36. Sandy

    Very easy to use and liked it.

  37. Annie2u

    I received my Family Tree Heritage Gold recently and thought I might be out of my league. So glad I was wrong because it is fun to use. The manual is really big but the index helps with figuring out what to do. There are functions I know I will need help later on, but so far everything has been straight forward. The software arrived sooner than I anticipated so that was a bonus. I really like the back document function because deleting can mean a disaster. Installing the software was simple and took less time than I thought it would. This was a purchase I can recommend.

  38. Amazon Customer

    It took some time to learn how to navigate around the software but in a couple days (after playing with it), I was able to move around and start building my family tree. The software starts with yourself in the first blank spot and then work backwards to your father /mother. Each relationship expands from there and starts building from there. I have not been able to figure out how to print a portrait style family tree like you see on the Family Search Org web site to share with my siblings, nor how to include children in the tree. I have not contacted Tech Support but will when I am at a point of wanting to share my family tree.For those (like myself) who have never worked on our family heritage, this software is a good place to start. It works well with Windows 10
