First of all, welcome to Family Tree Forum.You should have a facility to export a gedcom from your current software which will allow you to import your basic facts into any family tree software program.However, gedcom files are text only so will not transfer photos.If you are familiar with the workings of Family Tree Maker then the obvious answer would be to update to a newer version.The newest version is Family Tree Maker 2008, which was released last year. Having typed my reply to you I thought I had better have a look at my FTM 2008 version and download the recent upgrade file to see if it has improved the program.Initially there were a few facilities in the 2006 program which had not been made available in the 2008 program. I can see with the upgrade things have definitely improved, although it still doesn't offer the internet backup option or the Family Tree home page that was available on earlier versions.So, if you want to go for the 2008 option, then up to you, but I think you will find most of us have stayed with FTM 2006. Yes, TWR send them abroad as I sent a cousin one in Germany, no problem. Get the 2006 as it has the internet back up facility which is really useful and the Homepage. Im surprised you cant get it in the US though - perhaps they have phased it out so people have to buy the dodgey 2008 one.Just check in case ancestry themselves still have them in the US, they seem to say they have: you could phone them - by the way, the 2006 is also called version 16 - its just Im thinking the UK 2006 wont give you the months sub to the american records, only the UK ones.
I have Family Tree Maker version 7.0 made by Broderbund Software in 1997 and I want to get a new family tree maker program. Do you know which new family tree maker software will allow me to easily transfer all of my information from this old product?And the question no-one has answered yet is that the newer versions of FTM will allow you to import your old FTM file direct.

You don't need to make a GEDCOM file first. I successfully imported a FTM for Dos file (made by Banner Blue, who came before Broderbund!).
