Maybe FTM 2009 doesn't have the capability to export links in a GEDCOM. All I know is the current version of FTM will do it if the links in your FTM data file are actually linked. You have to select your destination as FTM after selecting GEDCOM 5.5 otherwise it won't work. I selected FTM 16 and it worked.
You might have to upgrade to the latest FTM version, but prior to doing so I would make sure your images in FTM are actually linked to people. There's no sense spending money on an upgrade if it doesn't work either because nothing is linked. I opened the GEDCOM I exported from FTM using Wordpad then searched for ".jpg". This is an example of what it found: FILE H:\Genealogy\Prog Backups\FTM 2014\Data\Boswell Ltd4 Media\302-04.jpg Bill Boswell From: Diane Marcotte [mailto:dianemarco...@bell.net] Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2014 2:09 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] How to get FTM media files to export to Legacy8 I’m afraid that is not the answer. My only choice to make a “GEDCOM for FTM16” and when I checked it in Word it did not include either the media files or links to the files. As with the “GEDCOM 5.5” option the box to include media files was greyed out. However I did try it and imported the “GEDCOM for FTM16” into Legacy but no media files are found.

Create a GEDCOM for FTM with Family Tree Maker as the destination. That will include all the FTM information and give Legacy the maximum amount of data, including links to any media files you have linked in FTM.
