I had always liked FTM's charting capabilities, though, so I decided to come back to FTM & buy the 2010 version. I have no idea how good or bad the new FTM is because I've never been able to properly install & open it.

The only reason I bought the 2010 version is my new laptop was 64 bit and the version 16 wouldn't work on it.

Upon transferring my data from FTM 2006 (over 3,000 individuals) I find that one of the first things I need to do is resolve more than 1,500 “all place names” issues. I like the idea that it’s identifying areas of inconsistencies when it comes to place names.
