If you have made a book with FTM, please bring a copy to the meeting and discuss techniques you used and tips for others. If you have not tried to make a book, please read the manual and do a trial run with a small family file to see what questions arise that need to be discussed in the meeting. It would be helpful if you would give a preview of your thoughts and questions before the meeting on: ftmgroup@l-ags.org Please bring your FTM manual to the meeting. We are primarily a group of Family Tree Maker users (from beginners to experts) who discuss/share problems and successes and in general help each other in the use of FTM software. All persons interested or potentially interested in Family Tree Maker and related software are invited to attend. Guests are welcome at no charge.
