If your family tree has an AQ extension someone must have created it. Ask them to export the tree as a gedcom, which has the extension .ged. Any genealogical program can then import it and view the data. If you do not have any programs yourself you can obtain a test version of GenoPro, which will allow you to look at the file and work on it for a short time.
If you then decide that you do not wish to change the data any more then GenoPro will carry on as a viewer of your family tree. If, like most of us on this forum, you get interested in extending your family tree, you can upgrade and purchase a full copy. There are other programs available but you would need to see for yourself which you prefer

One thing I can promise is that FTM 2008 is a major disappointment. I am stuck with a 9-generation .ftw file with over 190 people that I can't use. My genealogy mentor suggested Legacy, but I'm open to ideas. First I've got to figure out how to convert the .ftw to gedcom!
For anyone who hasn't tried the new FTW: it sporadically crashes when saving new sources, and now it crashes when I'm trying to export as gedcom (of course!).
If I can't get this file converted can someone help? And anyone feel free to suggest another program to use. Thank you in advance.

Using FTM, you can export to Gedcom. Then, open your Gedcom file using GenoPro.

| That's the whole problem with FTM. When I try to export or save as a gedcom the program encounters an unexpected error and has to close. So it crashes before it saves. Do you think an earlier (non-beta) version of FTM will work? I'm willing to try anything, but on an older non-critical backup first of course!

| Can someone please tell me how to convert my tree to gedcom? If it is because I have linked media I'll unlink it. I have no problem emailing the ftm/fbk file to anyone who can help.

Have a try with Family Tree Legends. It says, that can import directly ftw files and have export to gedcom capabilities as well. Free to download

Hi,
I'm writing in hopes that you will be able to assist me with converting a FTW to GEDCOM file. Back in February of this year I switched from the PC to a Mac and now I can't use the program I am used to (Family Tree Maker). I don't want to start from scratch so if I could have my file converted, it would save me a ton of time. Is this something that you would be willing to undertake for me? If so, please let me know and I'll e-mail it as an attachment to you.
Thank you.
GMB

Do you know how to convert FTW files into GEDCOM files? I have FTW files from a prior Windows computer. Now I have the data and need to convert for use with another MAC application.
Any help that you can provide will be hugely appreciated!
Regards,
John

| You can do this without any software. The easiest way is to create an Ancestry.com account then login and create a new tree by uploading the FTW file. Now you can download the new tree as a GEDCOM file. Ancestry.com already knows how to take a number of tree formats for upload as you can imagine would be to their advantage to do.

| If you load a tree, possibly with sensitive data including living people, can you delete it from Ancestry? If not you may prefer to use the other methods mentioned on this forum

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.
Use my profile email to send your file, and I will convert it for you :-)
Hello. I too have a FTW file which I would like to convert to GEDCOM. Would you be willing to convert it for me? Thanks.

Did I understand you to imply you would convert FTW files to GED for anyone or was this a limited offer?
Searching Hatfield & Farley lines.
