Hi Everyone,
I am a bit of a dinosaur and have been using for a lot of years, FTM 15th Edition, which runs on Windows 98/ME/XP. It was produced by Ancestry.com.au, but I have never submitted my files to Ancestry online.
I now need to purchase a new notebook computer and have been advised that my programme is not compatibile with latest software:mad:.
Is it possible to convert all my years of research on FTM15 into a programme using current software? Does it mean in the future whatever programme I use will have this issue. I am happy to pay for updated programmes, what I find distressing, is having to either retype all my data into a new system, with the possibility that it will be superceded in the near future, or is the only way you can hope that you will not loose all your data, is to print it off into hard copy:eek::eek:
