Family Tree Maker Version 16
Oct 13, 2015 Tech support scams are an industry-wide issue where scammers trick you into paying for unnecessary technical support services. You can help protect yourself from scammers by verifying that the contact is a Microsoft Agent or Microsoft Employee and that the phone number is an official Microsoft global customer service number. Originally a genealogy program geared toward beginners who were content to make pretty family tree charts, Family Tree Maker underwent a dramatic overhaul in its 2005 and 2006 versions. This year’s upgrade, the befuddingly numbered version 16 (the last two upgrades succeeded version 11), offers only minor fixes and enhancements.
