Thanks, Cheri. I tend to think you are correct. The gedcoms I have received did not have all the information I have in my "notes" section of my files. I have not had time to read the book on Roots Magic 4 I purchased when I bought the program. I probably will not get to it until after the holidays. Celeste Celeste Perry [email protected]

It carries over only certain codes (b, m, d, notes, bapt, christening, etc). It doesn't carry over multimedia of any time. I haven't monkeyed around with RootsMagic in a while, but if it can directly read from FTM, that would better than doing a Gedcom. In RootsMagic, look under File, then Import. See if it will directly read from FTM.
