Broderbund move to FTM 2010, is it possible?
« on: September 08, 2009, 08:01:39 PM »
I currently use Broderbund's Family Tree Maker version 11. I want to switch to Ancestry FTM 2010. Can someone tell me if the task of transferring all my data to Ancestry is easy and complete. In other words can the new software (Ancestry 2010) import the old data (from FTM ver11), without error or loss of any data? I have pictures, extra notes, and medical histories etc stored in Ver 11.

Thank you.

The answer is a definite Maybe. There are instructions here on updating from a version prior to 16, and help links to follow if you run into trouble. The best thing is that it creates a new program file AND new project and doesn't affect your old one so if you run into trouble you can revert to the old program easily.
