I have loved reading the banter about this product and really want to get it. still not sure if 2005 or 2006 is best? Prices seem to vary loads....all advice gratefully received! Thanks x x x x

Well, if you had read the thread thoroughly and using a note pad you would see I believe that play*com (replace the asterisk with a full stop) has it for less than £30 with 3 months free sub. :}

Brilliant thanks!

Sorry I didn't read the previous thread but have just bought FTM 2005 with 3 months ancestry for £9.99 from Staples Jen

That is really cheap. Is it the full version do you know with the bits and bobs? I mean the 3 months ancestry is worth what £15 or more so they are actually paying you to buy this???! To be honest the 2006 is not muchdifferent to the older one.

Not sure Heather will have a look Jen

Just checking Heather, you think it is worth getting the 2006? Thanks

Heather, I think you meant to say 2006 is NOT much different to 2005. You get the charting software, but otherwise it was an expensive update. Any one starting out, go fo the FTM 2005 offer, also packaged under WDYTYA . Excellent value at under a tenner.

Where from Peter?

Heather This one for £9.99 is FTM2005 6 cd rom set with 90 day sub to one world tree and 3 month sub to Ancestry. Deluxe Edition. Like I said from Staples Jen

Just had a look on the website but can't see it. Or is there a shop? Kate

Kate I bought mine 2 days ago in Staples (shop, office furniture and supplies). Jen

You can also order on-line from TWR computing - just Google. I've ordered from them several times - no hassle and delivery by return.

Yes Peter, youre quite right I meant to say it isnt much different as far as I can see as I upgraded from 2005. Well, that is indeed a brilliant bargain isnt it - as I said they are actually paying you to buy it! Perhaps they have a newer version in the offing then?

Blast ....wouldn't you know it there isn't a store in my home town....don't think you can get it on line either....zut alors!

Kate see Peters reply....google twr computing. Yipeee! for once I've got a bargain it seems. :o) Jen

This is the one Peter recommended, bargain or what? Bit of confusion there though they say a 30 day sub (worth £15?) Worth checking with them if they mean 3 months. TWR AD: Retail box including the complete full Family Tree Maker 2005 program and a 30 day subscription to ancestry.co.uk. Contents :- The Family Tree Maker 2005 CD 30 days subscription to Ancestry.co.uk (£15 value) Family trees of the ten celebrities featured in the first BBC TV series of Who Do You Think You Are Video clips from the first BBC TV series of Who Do You Think You Are Online Who Do You Think You Are guide to researching your family history This pack also upgrades FTM version 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 users to FTM 2005.

Your right Heather! Just had another look at mine and it says 30 day sub for ancestry and 90 day sub for oneworldtree. Jen

Just ordered it thanks gang!

Well even a 30 day sub is worth at the full price, what nearly £6? Not sure where they got the £15 from? Oh well done Kath, enjoy!
