| I used to work with FTM (Family Tree Maker) a couple of years ago, but after some computerchanges i do not have the program anymore. I would like to restart the pedigree, but i only have a FTW and FBK-file with all my dates. I tried to work with the Family Archive Viewer, but apparently that program does not work anymore on XP. Is there anyone who could convert one of these files to a gedcom, or specify a freeware that can do this job for me ? Thanks in advance

| I know this is an old thread, but I'm in hopes that someone around might still be able to help me out. My laptop, back-up drives, and family-tree maker software were all stolen from car earlier this month. I ended up losing two months of research, but thankfully I had saved an .ftw file in my e-mail. I'm reordering Family Tree Maker, but they've proven very unreliable in their delivery and order processing. I am still without my software and without a useable Gedcom. I was unable to attach the file, but would be glad to e-mail it if anyone can help. Thanks a bunch!

I recently found a copy of our family tree file in FTW format that my aunt sent me to add to. I installed my old version of Family Tree Maker ver. 3.02 and it says my aunt's FTW file was made with a newer version of Family Tree Maker.
Would you be willing to convert yet another FTW file to GEDCOM format please? I'd love to be able to recover some of the work she did on this file.
Regards,
John

I have the same problem as others who have posted to this thread. I will mail the offending .FTM file to you, in hopes that you will be able to convert it to GED or PAF and return it to me. This is apparently a necessary and useful service you are providing. Is there a trick to it that others could use, or is it dependent on special tools you have unique access to?
Hellllllp!

| A Starter Edition of Family Tree Maker 2005 is available at http://www.familytreemaker.com/download/starter.aspx. This installs as a full version for 14 days and then reverts to the Starter Edition which has no time limit. The full version will export to GEDCOM, but whether this is available after the trial period, I don't yet know (I can update the situation at the end of the 14 day trial).

Another way of converting FTW files has become possible with the announcement that Family Tree Legends v.5 from http://www.familytreelegends.com/ is now available as a free download. Follow the link on the site and 'Buy' the software. This leads you to a a page where you are given a registration key which will activate the program.
You can import the FTW file format directly.The program claims it can import a wide variety of other formats, including GenoPro, but in fact this has to be done after you export to Gedcom.
However it does have native FTW support and I have imported a file and then created a gedcom file from it.
One word of warning. When I started to use the program, the first thing that I did was to try to import the FTW file and the PC seemed to hang when I browsed to the file. This was possibly a conflict with my virus detector as it seemed to be checking a lot of files. On my second attempt I created a blank file and loaded some dummy data. This initially created a database and after that I had no problem importing the FTW file
