Family Tree Maker® Seminar

Hosted by Queensland Family History Society, the seminar is an initiative of VicGUM (Victorian Genealogists Using Microcomputers) as part of their 40th Anniversary Celebrations.

Speakers:

Duff Wilson (from Software MacKiev-US), Executive Director of Family Tree Maker Duff has been involved in the design of every edition of Family Tree Maker since 2004. He has three decades of software design and development experience working with products and people from many countries and cultures across the world. This broad but focused experience has given him tremendous respect for all people and the importance of making products that are crafted out of a deep understanding of their values, wants, needs, and capabilities. Who better to inform us about the soon-to-be-released upgrade – Ver. FTM 2024?

Stefan Harms (Family Book Creator - Germany), Author & Creator of the FTM plugin Stefan, born and raised in a small town in the northern part of Germany, lives in Hamburg with his wife and has an adult daughter. Stefan holds a degree in Applied Computer Science and runs his own business as an independent software engineer. He became addicted to genealogy 25 years ago when he transferred his great-uncle's paper family history into a Family Tree Maker database. Stefan has helped thousands of FTM users publish their genealogy in professional-looking books after releasing the first version of Family Book Creator ten years ago. In his spare time, Stefan enjoys inline speed skating, traveling, and, of course, genealogy.
