What Others Say
Family Tree Maker for Dummies
As the name implies this is a great book for beginners using Family Tree Maker. It has everything you need to get started.

Got Family Tree Maker for Dummies to help with my FTW entries. Have done a lot, but in the first few chapters, I find that there is lots more to do, like to add facts about things, like what is the source of a graduation from high school, or what is the source of the degrees.
This is NOT a book to read from cover to cover. Start working with FTW, then when you get some data entered, read the chapter on what you've done, and you can go back and "touch it up" a bit for more interest for your family.
Well written, and easy reading, like most of the other "Dummies" books.

Out of date and does not match the program I bought it with. The program was the newest version and the book was way out of sinc. Waste of money.
