Received GEDCOM from PAF 2.3.1 for Mac- FTM 2010 only accepts GED v5.5 on up
« on: Friday 09 October 09 21:05 UTC (UK) »
I received a GEDCOM file created from PAF 2.3.1 for Mac.  When I try to import it into FTM 2010, it says the GEDCOM must be version 5.0 or greater. Does anyone know of a tool that I can simply upgrade a GEDCOM file to a more current version?

May be something you could try is to download PAF from familysearch and import the gedcom as 5.0.  With any luck you should import it and you should be able to export it as 5.5.

As PAF is free it might be worth a try.

Hi Nancy, and a big welcome to RootsChat. Smiley

I may be able to help. If you PM me your e-mail address we'll see what can be done.

You will need to make at least one more post and sometimes two before you can PM anyone so just reply here a couple of times first. To PM me, click on the little green scroll under my avatar.

One possibility, of course, is to download PAF:

see the link on the right.
