Thanks so much Ray - you are an absolute life saver!

Now for carrying on with my tree rather than re-doing!

Thanks for the offer of help, I have now sorted it out  :o  I exported the gedcom file to Ancestry.co.uk (I have 6 months free access with my new software) and it let me do it and then to export the gedcom file to my new software  :o   It must have saved it as a compatible file so it was easy in the end.

Thank you for your offer of help though

Regards
Carol

Hi Ray,

Any chance you could help another one out with the .gft coversion? My Grandpa is trying to get the old information out but he lost the original install disc and has been trying to find the old software on eBay. I'd rather get the file into a widely used format and download him some newer updated software.

Thanks,
Nick
