Importing FamilyTreeMaker files into RootsMagic8

maddog: on my mac I do not have the option to import FTM 2014 or earlier. Evidently the mac and pc versions are NOT identical in options and features. It always concerned me that Bruce demoded on a pc claiming everything would be the same on a mac.

FTM V9 sounds very ancient. Perhaps RM tech support would import and convert the file for a customer. They say they have old competitor versions.

Solution: 1. export a gedcom from FTM and import that to RM8. I used this method.

  1. install RM7 mac, import an old FTM file and save it. Then import that to RM8.
