It has been about a year and a half in the making, but MacKiev (the makers of FTM) together with Ancestry have worked hard to get the program (and syncing) working well, and they weren’t willing to have anything released and rushed out as a half-baked product. Last weekend saw the announcement that many have been waiting for “FAMILY TREE MAKER 2017 IS RELEASED”. While there have been delays (doesn’t all software?), and some wondered if it would ever eventuate … Family Tree Maker 2017 finally sees the light of day.
