Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] transferring genealogy programs
Reading the posts, another site that I use is TribalPages for keeping a copy of my family tree. A distant cousin suggested it. I love that I can put notes and pictures all together for the person. It is free up to a certain point and after that the annual fee is relatively low compared to ancestry. This is not for everyone and others connect it with their FB. It is just another tool. I have all my files saved to a memory stick. So far no compatibility issues with any computer. I have one I use on trips. I can use it anywhere I go to save records on a computer. It just makes it easier for me. If I get a new computer I just open and continue on. I have had no file or program issues yet. Have never used a Mac. So that might be different. I have a couple of programs that I use one is Legacy, but I don't really like it. A lot of genealogists maybe farther ahead in their knowledge than I am. I just thought this might help. Blessings to all on their searches.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] transferring genealogy programs
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.

My computer crashed and I need some suggestions. I need some suggestions as to how to transfer (is it even possible?) my FTM 2006/16 to Roots Magic. My computer crashed and I so have my FTM backed up so it survived. I understand that my version of FTM does not work with Windows 7 or some such thing. Since I am one of those who would like programs to stay the same until I die, I want easy and not many bells and whistles.

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] transferring genealogy programs
Hello Celeste, I'm in the same boat.My newer computer has crashed three time (and been sent to warranty repair all three times) during the first 9 months of owning it. Had a good back up and all documents and such backed up to an external device. My only problem was with Outlook. The last restore would only import my emails and I've lost all my folders and contacts. Of course all my genealogy folders with contact information and information others sent me related to my lines. One thought maybe to use the Free genealogy program. I can't remember the name of it, but someone on the group has mentioned it before. Could be one through the Family History site (LDS)? This way, you won't have to worry about computer upgrades being compatible with software changes and such. All my information is in Ancestry's online tree. I'm probably at their mercy until I don't want to pay their monthly fees anymore. Then I'll be in the same boat as you, I'm assuming. I've never looked into how I can export my information if I so choose. Good luck!

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] transferring genealogy programs
What you need to do is open the family tree maker file in family tree maker, and export a gedcom file. Then import the gedcom file into Rootsweb. Unless Rootsweb can directly import FTM files. I don't think so, but it's possible. It can directly import some kinds of files.

It should be saved as GED com file. When you have Roots Magic working you should be able to import FTM as a GEDcom. (I think.)

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] transferring genealogy programs
Celeste, Gedcom is really archaic and I seriously doubt it carries the scrapbook section of FTM. 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.
