* Exporting from Gen8 into Family Historian 6

Importing from another genealogy program? This is the place to ask. Questions about Exporting should go in the Exporting sub-forum of the General Usage forum.

Exporting from Gen8 into Family Historian 6

Post by Jules56 »

I have recently bought a new laptop and purchased FH6. I have successfully installed this onto my new laptop. What I want to know is how do I create a GEDCOM file so I can transfer all my family history data that is on Generation Suite 8 on my old laptop to FH6 on my new laptop. Thank you for any help that you can give me

Hello, welcome to FHUG.
There is some advice about importing from Generations in the Knowledge Base here:
how_to:import_generations|> Import from Generations Family Tree
Ask again here if you have any problems or further questions after studying that.

Thank you Lorna. I checked out the knowledge area and followed instructions given. With a little help from my son we managed to do the transfer.
