Member Since: November 2005 Posts: 0 Send Message	I have just picked up my free copy of FTM - I have been wanting to try it for ages and want to know if it is possible to upload an existing family tree and also if it is possible to split my family tree into different files? Any advice on this would be most appreciated.

	You should be able to import your gedcom onto it but I expect it will be a trial version so Ive no idea whether you would be able to split and merge files etc. No harm in trying it though Have Fun Sue

	Kathryn I use legacy as my main family tree program. I afraid I cannot get on with family tree maker ( the full version) for the chart option. You can split files and merge on legacy if you need any help with it you are welcom tp pm me. Sue
