Converting files from FTM 2017 to FTM 2024

Before starting the conversion, users should create backup copies of their original files to protect important family information. These files may contain names, birth dates, marriage records, photographs, and details about family relationships. The conversion process involves opening or transferring the existing FTM 2017 files into FTM 2024 using a supported method. Users should follow the software instructions and save the converted family tree in a safe location. After conversion, users should carefully review the family tree to ensure that names, dates, relationships, notes, and photographs have transferred correctly. If any information is missing or incorrect, it should be investigated. In conclusion, converting FTM 2017 files to FTM 2024 helps users preserve their family history and continue updating their records with newer software. Creating backups and checking the converted data can help prevent information loss.
