Family Tree Maker Focus Group
Dick Finn, Acting Leader: ftm.group@L-AGS.org, or 447-9652
We will be talking about and demonstrating the pros and cons of the just
released 2005 Version of Family Tree Maker. Please bring your questions,
comments, and a friend.

The L-AGS Family Tree Maker (FTM) Focus Group meets (during the school
year) the first Thursday of the month at 7:30 at the Ed Rundstrom
Learning Center (formerly the Sonoma Avenue School), Room 8, 543 Sonoma
Ave., Livermore.  URL for a map to the school:

Most of our group are FTM users (from beginners - even those who have
not yet installed FTM - to experts) who discuss problems and solutions,
share successes, answer questions, and in general help each other with
the Family Tree Maker genealogical software.  At recent meetings we have
talked about generating different types of charts that show specific
information and generations, what is new with Version 2005, and
generating PDF and GEDCOM files.

All persons interested or potentially interested in Family Tree Maker
are invited to attend.  For information on our group please call Dick
Finn at 925-XXX-XXXX or e-mail him at XXXX@pacbell.net. Contact Dick
for information about topics to be discussed.  Visitors are welcome and
there is no charge to attend. Bring your questions, comments, and
handbook and if you have a laptop with FTM loaded (any of the later
versions) you might bring it
also. L-AGS Family Tree Maker Focus Group
