  • FTM Question...probably stupid!!!

    My cousin has sent me 'our' family tree on a disc downloaded from his FTM. If I download it will it automatically attach itself to my FTM?

    I don't want this to happen as he has down the same amount of work of his wife's side and apart from their children and her brothers and sisters I don't want this.

    You can tell I am ignorant of the working of a computer....sorry

    Linda, what is the filename extension.

    It could be something like
    treename.ged - in which case it's a GEDCOM file, which basically you import.
    or
    treename.ftm - in which case it's a FTM file, in which case you can just click on it and open in FTM.

    It doesn't really matter which it is - it won't attach to your own tree unless you open it and then select a merge option.

    I presume the file name is a different name to your own tree - if it isn't then change it so that it's different so you don't get confused!
