Carole Riley 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2008 I have been sent a .ftmb file. I suspect it is a Family Tree Maker 2008 backup file but I don't really know. I also don't know whether TMG7 can import a FTM2008 file, but it certainly doesn't want anything to do with this one. Can anyone tell me what it is and what I should ask for instead?

GenerationGoneBy 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2008 Carole, The only mention I found of a .ftmb file was on the RootsMagic list archives where they state it is a 2008 FTM bacup file. The suggestion there is to see if you can get the person to send you a Gedcom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Byram 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2008 .FTMB is a Family Tree Maker 2008 backup file. TMG7 does not currently import from FTM 2008. Your only choice is a GEDCOM from that FTM 2008 installation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
