Considering a 3-Computer License?
( FAMILY PACK )
How it works:
- You may install Family Tree Maker on up to 3 computers in your home.
- The three computers may be any combination of Mac and Windows.
- You do not need a Family Pack if you have a desktop and laptop computer, and you are the only user of both. That is covered by a single user license.
QUESTIONS? If you have any questions about Family Packs, please go to support.familytreemaker.com.
DNA Matrix
You have your DNA match results, now what? Try the new DNA Matrix to show how DNA ties in the members of your family. Using a simple Descendant chart, the DNA Matrix shows how much DNA (centiMorgans) is shared between all the members of your family who have been tested, and will highlight any NPE (Non Paternal Events), or incorrect relationships. The DNA Matrix is the clearest and simplest way to visualize DNA test results.
DNA Simulation
The DNA Simulation is a unique way to solve the mystery of how an adoptee or orphan fits in a family. Combine a known family tree, and an outside person who shares DNA with members of this family. The DNA Simulation will find all possible ways and places that the adoptee can be linked to the family. The results will be summarized in charts that can be examined for further investigation. The DNA Simulation performs in seconds what could take days to do by hand. It can also be used to connect two separate family trees. The DNA Simulation helps you discover the story of your family.
DNA Matches
What about all the DNA matches that are not part of your family tree, but are connected to you in unknown ways, because you share DNA? There can be hundreds of strangers you will need to contact. The DNA Match list is a spreadsheet that helps you prioritize and group these potential cousins into branches of the family. This is a valuable tool to organize and focus your research.
There are two types of matches:
1. Both members of the match are in your family tree. Their common DNA is displayed in the DNA Matrix chart.
2. One side of the match is in your family tree, but the other person's link is unknown. It could be a distant cousin whose common ancestor you have not identified yet.
