I can't see how Wendy's .ged file can have got converted to .paf unless Mandy actually imported it into her PAF program.Just Mandy

I can read it in the PAF viewer but still can't convert to read in FTM...
I'm a tad confused!!!
1. export it as Gedcom 5.5.
2. create a new file in FTM (File - New) (with a different name from your own tree)
3. import the gedcom into the new FTM file.Last edited by Mary from Italy; 04-05-08, 13:03.

What did you do then? If you double clicked on it, then it may well have opened in the PAF program, thus making it a PAF file!
What you should do is SAVE the file in its current format, i.e. gedcom format (presuming that is what Wendy has sent to you) - then open up the FTM program and click on FILE, OPEN and select the saved gedcom file.Elaine

You don't need to give your personal details.
In the Export dialogue box, just untick Confidential Information and anything else you don't want.
