Import .ftm files from FamilyTreeMaker 2008

[johndh 0]

I made the mistake of importing my previous FTM data into the "upgraded" FTM 2008.

A horrible "upgrade."

However, the files from FTM 2008 are saved in a .ftm format.

Unfortunately I've added information since I upgraded.

How do I import that into my newly purchased TMG 6?

How do I import (from FTM 2008) into my newly purchased TMG 6?

The only alternative at the moment is via GEDCOM.

Because of other reasons, I would import your FTM data by way of a GEDCOM file. Export your FTM data to GEDCOM and import the GEDCOM file into TMG.

 

btw... Can you send me your FTM database for testing? I'll look at the error issue. If a ZIP archive of the FTW file is too large for email, I'll tell you how to upload it to a Wholly Genes server.

Bev, have you installed TMG on your XP computer, your Vista computer or both? If Vista, be sure to read Jim's updated article on using v6.12 with that operating system:
