Title: converting a .GFT to Gedcom
Post by: Pru Cameron on Saturday 16 September 17 12:53 BST (UK)

Hi folks ! I'm a newbie here but can see from another couple of posts that there is a member here who might be able to assist me. I have 4 .gft files (one is on the larger size) that I'm needing to be converted to GEDCOM so that I can open and continue adding to them using FTM2017. I think it is Ray that can assist? I would be eternally grateful for any assistance offered, or if you point me in the right direction to get assistance ?  :)

I'm sure Ray will tell you when he gets online, but:

Open the GST file in the relevant software (GSP Family Tree?).
Export as GEDCOM.

Possibly an intermediate stage of exporting in a format that another Family History software can open, Then open that file, and export as GEDCOM.

I know that Ray has all sorts of older software on his various computers! ;D
