Hi Ben, this upgrade is for PC right? Any idea’s on expected Mac release with TreeSync?
Hi, Rhonda. I expect the FTM 2012 for Mac pre-sale to start mid October and ship in early November. I could be wrong.
Do you know if/when this UPGRADE will be available in the UK as it’s not advertised in Ancestry’s site shop.
Hi, Andy. I’m told Family Tree Maker 2012 will be available for order in the UK mid October.
I just bought a second computer. I have FTM 2010 on my original computer and nowI would like to have FTM on both computers. I would like to upgrade to FTM 2011. Is it best to buy the upgrade version or the full version?
This is the reply ihave just had from ancestry .co.uk
Dear Customer.
Thank you for your email.
Unfortunately, we do not currently have an official release date for Family Tree Maker 2012, however, I can confirm that this is due for release in October.
Whilst we are unable to guarantee so it is possible that an upgrade edition of the software may be available.
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any further inquiries.
Kindest Regards

Hi,Andy and John. I just saw this on Amazon.co.uk: Family Tree Maker 2012 release date in the U.K. is October 14th.
Hey Ben!
I have Family Tree Maker version 11 and wonder if this old version qualifies for the upgrade version of Family Tree maker 2012. I can’t find the answer anywhere, can you help me out?
David
Hi, David. I just asked my contact at Ancestry. He’ll be out a couple of days. I’ll comment here when I get an answer. —-Ben >@<
I am interested in this reply as well. Any word yet?
Bill
Does the Family Tree Maker 2012 load over top of the 2011 or is this a seperate file altogether???
Thanks
Hi, Harvey. The Family Tree Maker 2012 program installs in its own directory. Which family tree files you load and from where is a different matter. —-Ben >@<
