You should be able to, but once converted it cannot be reverted.....so just in case....make copies of the gedcom file. |

Also be aware that the latest version (FTM 2014) has moved on a lot from the version you have. The program was entirely re-written around 2009 and has had several more upgrades since then. So, hopefully, a pleasant surprise. |

Oh dear.....Thank you IGP & Shirley.... I was going to upgrade in 2008 but then health issues got in the way...2011 same... so now have a big task by the sounds of it.... Last time I upgraded Comp from 2gb basic to XP I just put the original disc in & pressed whatever! & it did it automatically. going from XP to windows 7 was hoping would be the same, but seems not.... perhaps a visit to PC World or similar is called for. |

Thank you Thelma...... I am hoping to transfer/update my existing FTM to a newer version. I have given up on trying to work genes tree... Too long winded for me. |

Thelma I think the problem you may be having is because yours was a gedcom from another source and not from an FTM upload to ancestry |
