Thanks Mary and Ron, I will check that external link thingy out but I dont really understand it, dont mean to sound dumb but will check with OH later, he has offered to buy me Family Historian for Christmas but dont think I can wait that long, getting to like the programme more every time I mess with the trial. |

No family history program will import pictures from a gedcom file because gedcom files do not carry pictures. |

I have Family Historian. I ordered FTM and after 2 days sent it back and replaced it with FH. I love it, it is exactly what I wanted as I, personally, could not manage without the visual tree. I make sure I back-up regularly though. |

Thanks Roy, have had a look and there doesnt seem to be a facility to import pictures from FTM, although I think I may have made my mind up to move from FTM to Family Historian. |

Thanks Roy, but does anyone know if I can import my tree from FTM including the pictures. I know you can do it by Gedcom but this doesnt support these. Thanks again |

Thanks Von, I like it more the more I play with it, but the only problem is I cant get my photos to come over from FtM as it only imports as a gedcom and according to OH that doesnt support multimedia. |

It's a British made program and is probably one of the most powerful programs you can buy. |

I have just downloaded a free trial of Family Historian and am trying to get my head around it. Like the charts and the way of doing things up to now, but does anyone use this and what do they think. At the moment I like it more than dislike it and have got 30 days to decide, any views would be appreciated. Thanks very much, for your help. |
