Help for Converting .gft file to GEDCOM?

[steveor]

Thanks for giving your help guys.  I got the gedcom files.  Have made a small donation to Aberdeen Cyrenians on your behalf    Steve

Hi all,

I'm typing this for mum as she's new here (and to any forums actually!)   

I've just set up a new Windows 7 thing for her and her old GFT files are now transferred from the HDD. AS with everyone else, they don't open and the Times FT maker doesn't work. Yes, she knows she should have used the standard GED files now but hey ho!

You all seem to be nice people so can one of you help please? She has no pics on her tree so it's only a small file. She was pretty successful in her research, getting back to Elizabethan times, so she's desperate not to lose it all!

Many thanks in anticipation.

Julia, for my mum, Trish

Sorry to but in on this thread but I have a similar problem.
I've sorted a lot of my family tree and greatly appreciate the help from the good folks at Rootschat, but my cousin has more information which we can't access.
She last worked on it in about 2005 as far as she can recall but her file is saved in .gft format, she changed to a mac a few years ago and no longer has her old PC.
She also can't recall if she had the CD for GSP Family Tree or whether she purchased it online and downloaded it, either way we can't get our hands on the software to open the file.
She's happy to buy the software again or at least buy some software that will open her file, but Google tells us that such a beast is not available.
Any help we can get would be very much appreciated.

Everything is fine this end, thanks very much for your help Ray.
The helpful, friendly nature of the people on Rootschat never ceases to amaze me, if not for the tremendous help I've received from people on this forum I would have hit a dead end long ago.
A big thank you to everyone here.

Hello,

I'm wondering if someone can help me please. I have the same problem with my files being saved in .gft format and not GEDCOM, all 18 of them, (I know I should of known better!) but you don't tend to think at the time. I still have the  Family Tree disc but my new laptop is not compatible and won't run. I have tried lots of different things including running the program in compatible mode but not had any luck with any of it.

So I'm hoping that someone is able to help me with either a solution to convert them myself or for someone to convert them for me please? And maybe also recommend a new program that is similar in design and printing of trees please.

Any help in this matter would be much appreciated, thank you

Hi

I am willing to try to convert.

However, first you will need to personal message me, sending your email address.
