Hi Heather FTM has changed the format in which the program stores data over the years. I have had a look at FTM 2009 and it seems that the current version will only import from FTM v5 files and newer. You could try sending a query to the online help centre on the FTM web site. If you still have the old program you could try loading it onto your new computer and converting the old data to GEDCOM format. You should be able to then open that with FTM 2009 and then store the data in the new format. I have a couple of older versions of FTM that may be able to open your file. If you contact me off list we can explore that possibility further.

Many years ago I put my family tree and history on Family Tree Maker 4.4 and backed it up on cd. But when our old computer gave up I thought I would be able to just open the CD on our new computer. But it did not work. I bought a new FTM 2009 version but cannot upload all the old info. What do I do?
