    Importing genealogy data

    I have some family tree data in *.ftw format. Is there a way to import that into Reunion?

    Re: Importing genealogy data

    This is a Family Tree Maker file. Do you have a copy of FTM? If so, open the file with FTM and export a GEDCOM file which you would then import into Reunion. If you don't have FTM, find a friend with it or I would be willing to do it.

      FTM is long gone. I was afraid that was going to be the answer.

        It is not long gone. It has been bought by another company but its future may be uncertain.

          I believe that Mark means that his own copy of FTM is long gone -- not the company.

          Mark: Take a look at this page: http://www.leisterpro.com/doc/v12/qu...nswers/ftm.php. Note the second to last paragraph. If you can't find a friend, relative or local user group where someone has a copy of FTM, contact Leister help like it says. If you were in my neck of the woods, I would be quite willing to help.

            Actually, the company, MacKiev, wrote the last couple versions of FTM prior to the sale. They have several very stable products and are much more aggressive about improving FTM. List them at http://www.mackiev.com. I'm sure they will be around for a long time.

                We may also be able to convert the FTW file to Reunion for you, if you're willing to send it to us (help@leisterpro.com). Whether or not we can do the conversion will depend on what version of FTM the file is from.

                      I emailed the file per instructions. I hope you can do something with the .ftw file. Thanks.
