It’s here! Family Tree Maker is BACK.
MacKiev
All of us here at Software MacKiev are happy to be taking up where Ancestry left off with Family Tree Maker, the most widely used family history software of all time. We have completed a small update to get the product back on the market and are pleased to let you know its available RIGHT NOW.
About our new FTM updates
We have started with Ancestry’s FTM 2014 and FTM Mac 3 and, as a company of engineers, we set our focus on stability and performance improvements. So we swatted down some bugs. And we made the application more responsive – you will find some actions that previously took minutes now take seconds.
New features
We managed to sneak in just a few surprises, like 100 beautiful new backgrounds you can use to make professional looking charts and reports. And we’ve integrated a service for printing high resolution genealogy charts through the good folks at Family ChartMasters. It’s a modest start, but we hope you will be happy with our new updates.
Compatibility
We made sure that our new updates are completely compatible with the latest operating systems (Windows 10 and El Capitan). We’ve also made sure that your old trees will open seamlessly. That there is nothing to move. That your Ancestry account if you have one will continue to work with the new versions. And that TreeSync and all the other things you have come to like about FTM are still there for you.
Where to Buy... and more
See below how to get the updated editions, and some other information you may find useful.
FAMILY TREE MAKER
New FTM 2014.1 and Mac 3.1
How to get the updated editions
What you will get and when depends on what FTM version you currently have:
1. Users of FTM 2014 and Mac 3: Hang in there! FREE updates are coming. They will be available in about a week or so through the built-in update feature. We will send you an email to let you know as soon as they are available.
2. Users of older FTM editions: No matter how old your copy of FTM is, or whether its running on Windows or Mac, you can download an upgrade for $29.95 (vs. $69.95 regular price). Click here to take advantage of this limited-time upgrade offer today.
3. New users: If you have never owned a copy of Family Tree Maker before, for a limited time, you can download a full edition from our online store for $49.95 by clicking here (vs. $69.95 regular price).
Additional Offers:
• Family Tree Maker users who do not currently have an Ancestry.com subscription, will be offered a 14-day free trial.
• If you would like a backup disc, you can purchase a CD in a jewel case for an extra $10 including shipping and handling.

• Sign up to be a Beta Tester
• Learn about FTM
• Check the System Requirements
Editor's Note: I installed the latest update yesterday on a Windows 10 laptop and the process went very smoothly. Your existing FTM file will need to be converted and takes place during the update. You have the option to covert and keep a copy of your existing FTM data file (default) or you can just convert the existing file by unclicking the save a copy function. You need to register at the end of the update. If you need to reinstall the software at a later date and you can't find your installation file you must be a registered user.
I didn't notice any quicker loading speed but it did shut down quicker. I did notice a change in the Web Search tab. I will need to explore this further before I comment. I did receive several messages reading "An error occurred while servicing your request. Please try again later." I believe this was an issue with Ancestry. The software claims that it can import a Legacy Family Tree data file however, I have not been successful in any version of FTM using this feature including the latest version FTM 2014-1.
