What is a FTMB file and can I import it into TMG7?

Recommended Posts

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?

 

Cheers

Carole

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.

.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.

Thanks Jim, I suspected as much. Teresa, thank you too for your input, I found that post about RootsMagic myself.

 

Cheers
