I bought Family Tree Maker Platinum from official site at around £35 but this includes 6 months Essentials Subscription to Ancestry. I feel its a bargain. Unfortunately for me though, it is still in its shiney new box as I don't understand how to download it, as computer skills are not my forte, so I wait patiently for someone to show me...........

Good luck.
