Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 12 Send Message	Hi, Does anybody know how to convert ftw files into GEDCOM? Is any special software required? I already have the GEDCOM viewer but it doesn’t allow me to convert ftw files. I want to convert my ftw files so that I can down load my tree straight in Genesconnected. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Craig
