I don't know about FTM, but Ancestry flat out states that media from
trees there will not be included in there gedcoms and that seems to include
media links. Perhaps in FTM they can sync media from Ancestry but 2009 seems
way before the time that feature was added. So there may be neither media or
media links.

I have a feeling that the Relinker tool will only work if your Legacy data has
already been set up with the images linked. I don't think it will work if you
are trying to establish the linking process unless an FTM GEDCOM has preserved
the path to those images.
What version of FTM are you using?

Unfortunately that did not work. I transferred all 2300 media files from the
FTM folder I have into ….\Legacy Family Tree\Media as you suggested. I then
ran the Relinker tool but still get this message “There are no Media files in
this family file.”
My FTM media is called “Latest Full Tree_Jul 15, 2008 Media” and it is off a
folder called “Family Tree Maker” on my hard-drive. First I copied the “Latest
Full Tree_Jul 15, 2008 Media” folder to Legacy Family Tree\Media and when that
didn’t work I deleted the folder and copied just the 2300 media files. But I
still get the message “There are no Media files in this family file.”
This is the file structure I have after installing Legacy and importing my tree
from FTM:
You mentioned a more complicated method???
Thanks!
Diane
