The Society of Australian Genealogists (SAG), in association with VicGUM, are delighted to present a hands-on Family Tree Maker (FTM) Workshop program for beginner and intermediate users of this popular family history software.

This practical series will teach participants how to set up and use key FTM features to record and manage your family history research. Learning to use all the features provided by FTM effectively will help you to gain the skills needed to produce a family history book using your FTM software.

The program consists of six workshops, delivered monthly over six months, with each workshop running for three hours. Participants will be given homework activities to complete between sessions.

To take part, you’ll need to bring your own laptop with Family Tree Maker installed, and it’s preferable that you already have a tree containing 200–300 people.

Prior to the first session, we will be sending all the participants a short questionnaire to assist the presenter to plan each session to best meet the needs of the attendees. Please watch your emails for a link to the questionnaire and respond to it as soon as possible.

This is an in person, hands on program which will be held at the Stanton Library in North Sydney. You can find information about the venue and transport options by clicking here
