Can somebody please give an idiot proof run down on what to do? Just waiting on my husband coming to help me out, I am a chicken at anything new. One thing that I am wondering about is, when I move it from here to FTM will all my names dates etc still be there, ie will I have to do any of it all over again? I have a fear of losing all my work lol. Thank you for advice Marion |

Relax - you can download from here, point your new FTM2005 at the ged file and its as simple as 1 2 3 ...... Click FILE -> OPEN and 'all FTM type files' - it will pull in the ged file you saved from here (format is Surname_MembershipNo_etc.GED), change it to an FTW suffix and throw up a family view. After that just play with it, its really quite straightforward. |
