Family Tree Magazine (US) – Mastering Family Tree Maker

The American Family Tree Magazine is hosting a new 4-part course (Family Tree University) starting December 2nd, 2024 – Mastering Family Tree Maker:

Mastering Family Tree Maker – 4 week course

It’s $99.99 USD and covers at least Family Tree Maker 2019 – it’s probably not 2024, otherwise A) FTM 2024 would have already been released and B) It would be advertised prominently in the description and email I received, as well as by MacKiev.

Here’s a snippet from the email:
