The guide I have found until now seem to be aimed ad Linux, but I have windows, so how do I do it in Windows? Do I do it on the machine that have TMG now or can I move something on to a USB drive and then do things I need to do at my own computer that have gramps? I do not know what version of TMG…

There evidently is an unreleased add-on/plug-in for TMG from 2014. (The developer probably only worked on the add-on long enough to get their own data into Gramps. After that, they would have lost interest. [developer response] ) The section on importing from other software via GEDCOM also has a sec…

Even if I figure out how to install that and it works, it says its for TMG v6 but I have no idea what version of TMG that it actually is used yet as I dont have the machine on me. What if it is an earlier version, do it then not work? Seems like the two methods I have found, the adon (probably easy…

That is evidently the version when TMG was discontinued. I’m afraid you’re going to find little community knowledge for a program that died 6 six years ago. You’re going to have to experiment on the cadaver with the tools suggested. It is going to be a messy process. The big question that you aske…

Does that mean you have experience with TMG and how/where it stores files? In another forum, I just helped a person who inherited a drive with Gramps data… wanting recover the data without any knowledge of what the original user had set up. I hope to write up that recovery process as a general tro…

The Master Genealogist (TMG) was made by Wholly Genes. They closed up after 25 years in operation. Support was discontinued in 2014. You cannot get an update to the most recent version.

[image] emyoulation: The page for Downloads is worryingly filled with Linux distributions . i agree, even though i am a long-term Linux-only user. the docs pages would be so much nicer if they were designed to use a user-provided designation of what OS(es) they use, and the page contents disp…
