Hi Philippe, I have Reunion, so no help to you in converting the .FTW to Gedcom. Family Tree Maker is needed to convert FTW/FTM and FBC/FBK file formats to GEDCOM files.
FTW = Family Tree Maker for Windows Any chance you can get the person who sent you the .FTW to convert it to Gedcom for you? 1. Open Family Tree Maker program and the desired file 2. Go to "File" 3. Go to "Copy/Export Family File" 4. Type in new file name (This is the file already open in your program. 5. Choose the location and name you desire for your converted program.) 6. Change "Save as Type:" to "GEDCOM" (*.GED) 7. Press "Save" 8. Leave default settings unless you know the exact program you are converting the program for. Normal default settings are: Destination: FTM GEDCOM: Version 4 Character Set: ANSI 8. Select "Fields to Export" (This is your opportunity to keep information out that you do not desire to share with others. Good information to remove is information concerning living relatives or personal submitter information.) 9. Press "OK" Sent from Ronni's iPad On 15/01/2012, at 9:42 PM, Philippe Chaperon <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear WAMUG'ers, > > Is there someone who does have Family Tree Maker who could convert a > genealogy file with the extension of .FTW into a .ged (Gedcom) for me > please? > > Unfortunately I have Reunion and Heredis but so far I have been unable > to find a utility capabale to convert the .FTW into a .ged so that I > can import the file into my Reunion (or Heredis) database.
