UFT Installation Choices:

If you have opted to use the Ultimate Family Tree (UFT) program and are currently using a different genealogy program on your computer, you will want some way to use the data you have already keyed in with UFT. Depending on what program you are currently using there may be many options available to you, some of which may seem simple but which may result in some loss of information. Furthermore, you may wish to retain the option of using your current program for a while, while you are getting familiar with UFT. Some choices ("install as an update to...") prevent this. As background information, you might want to understand the file structures used by UFT. We suggest you read an article on the subject which was published in our Newsletter. An updated version of this article is available on line, to see it click here. To follow these instructions simply click on the statement in the table below which best describes your situation and desires.
