Family Tree Maker SIG
The focus of the Family Tree Maker Special Interest Group (FTM SIG) is to help members take advantage of the many features and options of the software program. Your questions and issues help drive the meetings, and we will be there to help each other. Since the older versions of the software no longer synchronize with ancestry.com, we only concentrate on the latest FTM2019 version. We will try to help with technical concerns, such as upgrading the software and exporting files. Registration for this virtual event is limited to 35 members.
Registrants for this event:
- · Be able to adequately articulate your question or issue but be brief
- · Do not expect a presentation on any topic
- · If you cannot attend, please cancel your registration to allow others to attend
- · We will go around the “table” and take items individually. Please wait your turn
- · We will use GoToMeeting. Your microphone and webcam can be used. However, unless it is your turn, please keep your microphone muted.
- · If you feel comfortable doing so, at your turn, you can share your screen to show others. It could be your FTM window or something else.

A New Tool for an Old Problem: The Brick Wall Buster Technique
Ever feel like you are engulfed by a pile of research? Do you ever think to yourself, “If I could just get organized, I could solve this mystery?” If so, this presentation is for you!
This session explains why complex genealogy problems feel overwhelming and how to overcome it. (Don’t worry, it’s not you, and you’re not alone!) You CAN master the “thought chaos” caused by all that data swirling around in your mind. All you have to do is interact with the research in a new way and engage in activities that transform you from a (passive) data reader/collector into an (active) data user/thinker. The presentation shows you how and demonstrates a technique that:
- · teaches you to handle information in a new way to see more links and relationships
- · allows you to see all your research at one glance
- · organizes your research for you (yes, really!)
- · simplifies all the data
- · shows you any gaps, errors, and conflicts
- · automatically creates a narrative outline (and eliminates writers’ block!)
- · helps you plan and brainstorm your way to success
