Well, its up to you where you buy it! The UK 'Family Tree Maker 2006 Single CD pack with full program CD, and no data CDs' price at (http://www.twrco(.)co.uk/uk2shop-1.htm) is £27.89 including postage, so at ~£24 including postage, the Ancestry price is still quite competitive! Cheers, Bill Sydney, Australia

I have to say I got mine from ancestry and the $29 dollars included postage. If you are upgrading over the internet it wont need any shipping costs.

Prices shown on the FTM site do not include shipping charges, these extra shipping charges will be about another 50% of the price extra. Regards Carol www.genealogyprinters(.)com

I think I got confused with the price, it was $29.99 and when I got my credit card statement, I had been charged £19 odd in sterling. Sam x

It's £16.57, according to a currency converter I found by googling, but I think it might be a bit more than that. Kath. x

Hi Chris I had the starter version that came free with a magazine. With the program open, if you go to internet, there should be a link that takes you to the Family Tree Maker website and this allows you to upgrade to the full version. It cost me $19.99 (or thereabouts) and it took about 2 minutes to do, they give you a key code to enter that upgrades the starter version you already have on your PC so you don't have to enter anyone again, all remain the same.

hi, i am thinking of buying a new geneaolgy software,the one i have now is FAMILY TREE MAKER, but it is only a demo version of the starter edition, what i want to know is, if i buy a new one or the full version of family tree maker,would i have to put every individual in again? or would it all just transfer to the new one? thanks, Chris.
