Melissa, You can import directly from a Family Tree Maker file. TMG (The Master Genealogist) will also import from Family Gathering, Family Origins, Generations, Legacy, PAF, Roots IV and Roots V, Ultimate Family Tree, Visual Roots and GEDCOM's.

My question is this: I have Family Tree Maker and ALL my family information has been put in there. If I switch to The Master Genealogist, will I have to input all my information a piece at a time into the program or is there a way to import the information from one program to another?
