Firstly consider what you will do with the living people on your tree. I take a copy of my FTM tree and edit it to remove the living and then create a GEDCOM from that. To create a GEDCOM in Family Tree Maker (FTM), go to File > Export Decide where you want to save your GEDCOM – using the Save In box Give the file a name Change the Save as type: from FTM to GEDCOM Click on Save Don’t change anything in the next box to appear, just click on <OK>
