Using FamilyTreeMaker 2008

I am posting a series of articles about Using FamilyTreeMaker 2008 on my personal genealogy research blog, Genea-Musings. Here are the posts to date:

* Using FamilyTreeMaker 2008 - Post 1: Loading. Installing the program and uploading an existing database file.

* Using FamilyTreeMaker 2008 - Post 2: Exploring. Looking around the uploaded database file to see what the different views look like.

* Using FamilyTreeMaker 2008 - Post 3: The Menus. Most of the menus were itemized and described.

* Using FamilyTreeMaker 2008 - Post 4: Starting a New Tree. I started a new tree and added some people demonstrating the program options to do this.

* Using FamilyTreeMaker 2008 - Post 5: Adding a Source. I added sources to the Facts that I previously entered.

* Using FamilyTreeMaker 2008 - Post 6: Adding Children to a Family. I added children to a family in my new tree.

* Using FamilyTreeMaker 2008 - Post 7: The Person Menu. I defined the person menu items and demonstrated adding a spouse.

I will update this post periodically as I add more posts in this series.
