I changed the family tree maker tutorial index page. Will you look at it for me and give me your feedback? Even if you’re not using that software, I want to know what you think so that I know whether to invest the time it will take to change the index pages for Reunion, RootsMagic, and Family Tree Maker for Mac.
I modeled the index pages after the index in a book. Does this make it easier to find what you’re looking for? Can you think of anything I could do to make it even easier? What else might you want to know on that page?
Please leave me your feedback in a comment on this post or in a quick email.
Ben, I think this is a great help in being able to navigate to just the right question/answer. I really appreciate the time and effort you go to in our behalf.
I definitely like the new format, Ben. Very clean looking and easy to navigate. Would love to see one like this for Reunion. Thanks from me, too — you’re always my first resource for Mac genealogy!!
Great … please do a page for Family Tree Maker for Mac 🙂
Yes! This is really wonderful, Ben! Everything’s right there at our fingertips for finding, adding, preserving more information. Your organization of the information is exactly what we all need to be more productive.
Thanks so much!

Ben, this should be very helpful for anyone looking for help with FTM. I think the format would be equally helpful for users of other programs. Thanks for all you do!
Hello Ben:
This new index will be wonderful for Reunion. I help others learn to use Reunion and this format is just what is needed. I’m looking forward to seeing the change.
Thanks for you great work!
I ditto what Sheila says. The easier the better.

Ben,
I don’t use FTM, but look forward to this type of index for Reunion. This is very User Friendly. Thank you.
I like the new indexing page and am looking forward to a version for Reunion tutorials & articles. Reunion is my primary genealogy database but I am trying to learn FTM for Mac 2 to have a better handle on my Ancestry tree. I really appreciate your clear tutorials addressing both programs. Keep up the great work
Ben, I think you are headed in the right direction and the format is clean and useable. The only thing I would suggest is not to have the headings so huge. Since they are already set off by being in black, you could bring them down a little. I also didn’t like having to scroll down as much as I had to. Tightening the leading would be of advantage to users. I’m a Reunion user and this would work good for it also. Thanks for your hard work in keeping us informed.
I think this is beautiful, Ben. I love how the black of the headings makes the topics register immediately. Thank you! Looking forward to seeing it for Reunion one day.
I think this is a very interesting approach, Ben. The bold titles of each subject are very intuitive. I am still riding the fence between FTM for Mac 2 and Reunion, using both programs. I might note too, that Reunion’s manual is more on the line of what you are doing for to FTM. It is much simpler to navigate in spite of only being available electronically. Love so many comments on Reunion – it’s helping me to decide which to favor!!
I think the approach is a good one. Look forward to the one for Reunion. I think it will help me finding the articles and videos I need to see or review as well as help in searching the Reunion tutorial.
Nice format and I think very good for FTM users. Please do one for FTM for Mac (that’s what I use). Thank you for you hard work.
The new format is a good idea – very easy to find what you’re looking for.
Thanks for all the work!
Looking forward to an index for Reunion.
Thank you all very much for your feedback. I read and considered every word before creating the index page for Reunion.
I like the index content and organization. I agree with Karen about reducin the size of the heads and tighten up the line spacing to make better use of the page real estate and decrease scrolling.
Thanks for all your hard work.
Very clear and easy to navigate. Looking forward to it for Reunion!
