Family Historian recognises and will import a number of different program databases into a new project - I'm not sure if Grandsuite is one of them (although it will certainly import any Gedcom file).
The easiest way to find out is to download the free 30 day trial version of Family Historian and try it out (this trial version is the full program only limited by that 30 day period)

It would probably also be worth posting the question on the Family Historian Forum as they may be able to help - http://www.fhug.org.uk/forum/.
