I'm wondering if I take the time to relink all my media in TNG if the next import from FTM2017 will scramble it again OR change the Person ID's in TNG to match FTM's Person ID's. I've tried the Append, All Current, Matching, etc options and I'm thankful for the Restore function in the end. HI! I'm curious to know if you're using the TNG Import/Export function found in the Administration menu OR are you overwriting the data file in TNG html using cPanel? I've tried importing a GEDCOM directly from and imported my FTM2017 gedcom file to RootsMagic and then into TNG and got the same scrambled mess. I usually do an entireįile at one time, and overwrite completely my TNG when I do so. I export a complete file from FTM using the Ged.com format then I upload/import that Ged.com file to my TNG. I am not having any problem uploading my FTMÄata to my TNG. I am a long time user of both Family Tree Maker (FTM) and TNG. Double keying everything is not an option. I am limited on time to work on this until December, but will dive in at that time and make a decision on whether there is anything out there that will get my data into TNG in a relatively efficient manner. At this point, if there is no reasonable way of getting data into TNG from either RootsMagic or FTM 2017, I will take down my TNG website (the website has not been updated in a year, so it is becoming of less value to everyone). I made the decision to stick with the familiarity of FTM (once they finally got the product working, it is acceptable). I have not tried the RootsMagic export to TNG, as I have not had the time. It looks like a possibility, BUT their sync process with Ancestry is not ideal. When Ancestry sold out and MacKiev FTM 2017 was struggling with getting out a decent initial working product, I gave the RootsMagic product a try. I was only able to import FTM 2014 by converting the data backwards into FTM 2012 format and then importing into TNG. I have not even tried the 2017 import yet, suspecting that unless there is a MOD available, it would not likely work. about ready to abandon the TNG ship due to limitations on getting FTM 2017 data imported into TNG.
