If your family tree has an AQ extension someone must have created it. Ask them to export the tree as a gedcom, which has the extension .ged. Any genealogical program can then import it and view the data. If you do not have any programs yourself you can obtain a test version of GenoPro, which will allow you to look at the file and work on it for a short time.
If you then decide that you do not wish to change the data any more then GenoPro will carry on as a viewer of your family tree. If, like most of us on this forum, you get interested in extending your family tree, you can upgrade and purchase a full copy. There are other programs available but you would need to see for yourself which you prefer

One thing I can promise is that FTM 2008 is a major disappointment. I am stuck with a 9-generation .ftw file with over 190 people that I can't use. My genealogy mentor suggested Legacy, but I'm open to ideas. First I've got to figure out how to convert the .ftw to gedcom!
For anyone who hasn't tried the new FTW: it sporadically crashes when saving new sources, and now it crashes when I'm trying to export as gedcom (of course!).
If I can't get this file converted can someone help? And anyone feel free to suggest another program to use. Thank you in advance.

Using FTM, you can export to Gedcom. Then, open your Gedcom file using GenoPro.

| That's the whole problem with FTM. When I try to export or save as a gedcom the program encounters an unexpected error and has to close. So it crashes before it saves. Do you think an earlier (non-beta) version of FTM will work? I'm willing to try anything, but on an older non-critical backup first of course!

| Can someone please tell me how to convert my tree to gedcom? If it is because I have linked media I'll unlink it. I have no problem emailing the ftm/fbk file to anyone who can help.

Have a try with Family Tree Legends. It says, that can import directly ftw files and have export to gedcom capabilities as well. Free to download

Hi,
I'm writing in hopes that you will be able to assist me with converting a FTW to GEDCOM file. Back in February of this year I switched from the PC to a Mac and now I can't use the program I am used to (Family Tree Maker). I don't want to start from scratch so if I could have my file converted, it would save me a ton of time. Is this something that you would be willing to undertake for me? If so, please let me know and I'll e-mail it as an attachment to you.
Thank you.
