The People Workspace is the one you will use as the starting point and ending point of almost everything your do in Family Tree Maker. It contains the list of people, the tree diagram, and a list of all the facts associated with a person.
I have found two YouTube videos that efficiently and thoroughly present the features of this Workspace. Given that we are using Zoom and given that I likely would not be able to present the information on this Workspace any better, I am not going to use class time to view the two YouTubes. You can do so on your own time using the following links (You can also access the videos using the YouTube list to the right of this blog post:
- Family Tree Maker 2017: People Workspace Part 1: The Tree View Tab
- Family Tree Maker 2017: People Workspace Part 2: The Person View Tab
I recommend also viewing the hour long video demonstrating the use of FTM 2019:
These three videos should provide a solid understanding of FTM features.
It is one thing to know the features, another to use them productively, creating an accurate genealogy. In general, that can only come with practice AND by watching other YouTube videos that describe genealogy best practices. Several such videos are in the YouTube list to the right of this post.
I will use the class time to very briefly show the People Space features, but then I will go back to actual demonstrations of FTM use- putting the features together in productive workflows.
