* FTM to FH

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.

FTM to FH

Post by Abraham » 19 Apr 2012 17:03

I am trying to load FTM 16 to FH 5 in their trial program.
When I try to load directly from FTM I get nothing.
When I load FTM gedcom I get all the data but no media.
Any help?

I don't think FTM exports the media on versions earlier than 2012.

For 2012 you need to modify the 1 FILE lines to 1 _FILE using a text editor and then may need to repair the links in the Work With External File Links tool.

Thanks for the quick response. I'll have to update to FTM 2012 and give it a try.

Best way I know to buy FTM is with Tesco vouchers you can get it for £19 of vouchers and you get 6 months ancestry essentials thrown in.
