FTM 2019 and FTM 2024 can open any Family Tree Maker tree file — no matter how old. Either directly or with the help of free Family Tree Maker conversion tools, the latest two editions can open tree files created by any version of Family Tree Maker, all the way back to version 1.0 which was published more than 35 years ago in 1989.
If you are using an older edition of Family Tree Maker, we would encourage you to consider upgrading to FTM 2024. Apart from being able to import your tree file from your older edition directly, there are many new improvements and features to assist with your family history. We offer an upgrade discount for anyone who owns a previous edition - simply sign up for our newsletter at www.familytreemaker.com and you'll get an email back shortly with more information. We also have free tools available to convert your file when you click here.
If you are using FTM 2024 and run into any difficulties when importing files from older editions, please click here to come to live chat. We're available 24/7, free of charge, and are happy to assist.
