Importing lists to CLOOZ seems to be the biggest hang-up I've seen on this list. I finally succeeded at getting my list of names from PAF 2.2, but was a really tough go. I do not know anything about FTM, but since nobody has responded to this message, let me suggest that you go to: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/ and download a Free copy of LEGACY (I did this in order to make my first import into CLOOZ) From there it is a fairly simple matter to export a GedCom from FTM and import that GedCom into LEGACY and an even more simple process to export a name list from LEGACY to CLOOZ. It worked flawlessly for me. If you "dink around" with LEGACY a bit, you may find that you like this freebie program even better than FTM.
