I was thinking about getting this as a gift, but after looking at the choices I am so confused. You have FTM 2005 Standard, Deluxe, and Collectors, with no real indication about what is different between each of them. I go to their website and they don't even mention deluxe and collectors, and give you a link to buy standard online.

I read some mixed reviews on Amazon, but it was mostly people complaining about the upgrade not adding much. No problem since this is a first time buy. But what I am confused about is the online searching. It says it uses ancestry.com. I go there, and they give you 14 days free and then its $200 a year to search online. But their site says nothing about Family Tree Maker. Does buying the program give you free access to the ancestry website??

I'm so confused. Hopefully someone here knows what the best thing to get is.
