Anyone know the difference between FTM 2005/6 and the version sold

FTM 2006 US edition can be updated on line to FTM 16 asa freebie

The boxes sold in UK cannot becasue they have been localised with different maps
and
for example linked to ancestry.co.uk not dot com

Thanks Hugh, just looking at the cheapest way of getting FTM on my
computer. BK will remain as my preferred chice but FTM does have some
facilities BK doesn't, plus my daughter uses FTM. Ebay has 2006 and
also, much cheaper, 2005 and the WDYTYA version.

Hi Kay,
Why not get Legacy, IMHO it is far better than FTM, I used to use FTM but got sick of there policy of putting out a new version every year and spamming you about it until you bought it.
I converted to Legacy SE and found that it was better than FTM in a number of respects then I bought the Deluxe version and have not looked back since.
I would rather spend my hard earned money on research than on constant updates with little to no improvement in the software that Genealogy.com aka Ancestry.com promotes via Family Tree Maker.

Genealogy.com aka Ancestry.com claim that FTM is the number one Genealogical program they may as well say Pigs will fly to the moon and back unassisted.
My answer to this is Yeah Right!!
