Any program would import that as a Location and not an event. Facts are exported from Family Tree Maker with a PLAC tag, which in all other genealogy programs is reserved for Locations. The import will be very faithful, but please be aware of the following Family Tree Maker quirks:ġ. This is important because if you uninstall FTM and delete the FTM folders you will lose your media unless you so this. Legacy will copy all of your linked media to this folder and then relink. For now allow Legacy to copy the media to the default location which is \Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Media. Go into someone’s Media Gallery and double check that you can see the media. Here is a step by step video that Geoff made download.php?webinar_id=415ħ) Once you have your file in Legacy, go to FILE > MEDIA RELINKER and make sure that you have no broken links. We will get to that in a moment.ĥ) Make sure you are using the most current update to Legacy because there are FTM fixes in it (FTM generates gedcoms that do not adhere to the gedcom standards so Legacy has to compensate for that)Ħ) Import the gedcom into Legacy. Leave the settings at the defaults.Ĥ) Do not move or rename any media file or folder after you create the gedcom. FTM 2014 will pull the media out and convert them to real media files and then link to them instead of embedding the media.Ģ) Compact your file (TOOLS > COMPACT FILE, select Perform extended analysis)ģ) Create the gedcom. Prior versions embedded media files instead of linking to them (all contemporary programs link including FTM). If you are using an earlier version of FTM and you have media files, you will need to open the file in FTM 2014 and newer to convert the media items from embedded to linked. You need FTM 2012 or 2014 to be able to do this. Watch the free 90 second video showing how: ġ) If you have a tree on you will need to sync your FTM to the tree and make sure that ALL of the media is downloaded to your hard drive and that the media is linked and visible in FTM.
