Family in Holmer Green and Great Kingshill - as a child lived in Princes Risborough. Good luck with your FTM 2006 - doubt you will have any problem using it - used to use FTM version 11 and there´s not a lot of difference - basic principles are the same. There are varying versions of FTM 2006. The deluxe version comes bundled with data discs - to be honest they are rarely of use so I wouldn´t bother with them. There are also some versions which come with a 90 day Ancestry subscription - which is very useful if you don´t already subscribe. I find TWR Computing prices are very reasonable and include postage and packing. Service is excellent.

Probably yes. I used version 11 to start with and then upated to FTM 2005 - have only just updated over the last couple of weeks to FTM 2006. If I remember rightly I was pleased with the FTM 2005 update - there were obviously a few extra things included - but to be honest can´t see much difference between the 2005 and 2006 versions.
