May 2, 2018 Meeting

Great participation and hands-on using Family Tree Maker.  During this session we focused on three areas of Family Tree Maker:

(1) Creating Custom Reports
(2) Using Filters for indexing and reports
(3) Media

During the session everyone used their own computers and FTM to create a custom fact and then to use the Filtering feature of FTM to customize their index view. 

The power of using FTM is awesome and most of us are not aware of all the features available to us after we have inputted our data, merged data from Ancestry or FamilySearch, or copied someone else's family tree chart.  No matter how the data was entered, FTM has many ways in which you can now use it for (1) Location based research, (3) Event based research or (3) Descendant research.
