Versions and dates and other ways of identifying Family Tree Maker software is confusing! I wish developers (and Family Tree Maker in particular) had a consistent way of dating and giving version numbers to their editions. Magazines have issue/volume numbers and dates and so do serial books. Why can’t software ?
I’ve been using Family Tree Maker when it first came out. It was easy to use up to version 16. I wanted/needed the latest FTM version for Windows 10. When I went from FTM ver.16 to installing FTM ver. 22 (2014) —- I lost, or version 22 did not import, all of my NOTES! Version 22 was a big visual/logical clutter. Many times I think software is updated with big changes to justify charging more money and to market the upgrade with useless but luring talking points.

Carlson, Dec 30, 2018 Rating Not Rated. Version 16 of Family Tree Maker is the number one best-selling genealogy program of all time for a reason. It is as close to perfect as one can get with these things. Family Tree Maker 16, free family tree maker 16 software downloads, Page 3. Family Tree Maker Version 16 was awarded a Codie award in the 'Best Consumer Productivity Solution' category in 2006. On December 8, 2015, Ancestry.com announced that it would discontinue Family Tree Maker. The announcement was met by fierce protest from Family Tree Maker users.
I spent many years collecting information and want software I can trust. The trend is for everything to go online, but I want my information safe, private and on my computer. I want reliable software on my computer and not in the clouds.
I was upset and very frustrated with FTM Ver. 22 (2014) and decided give FTM ver.16 a try on Windows 10.
BIG SURPRISE — I Just discovered my Windows 10 with latest updates (as of 9-2-2018) will run FTM Ver. 16! I now have my NOTES back.

Family Tree Maker Version 16 Upgrade
P.S. I used the same file for both software versions but FTM ver. 22 did not import my Notes.
Family Tree Maker 16 Update
