I have almost every family tree program available worldwide and I've never heard of that, please give me the name of the program as it appears on the box.

Family Tree Maker is available as, 2005, 2006, Who Do You Think YouAre(which is 2005), Version 16, 2008 and 2009 only, earlier versions were version 9,10,11

First step.

Scroll down this page until you see the dark green coloured bar running acroos the width of the page, on that bar are some words which say "Import/Export Gedcom" click this once only, job done, you will after an hour or so or even a day get an e-mail from GR with an attachment, this is your gedcom file.

Save that file to your Desktop and install your FTM program then repost again and I'll tell you what to do next, what version of FTM are you using.

At the bottom of this page, you'll see a little tool bar thingy... one of them says *gedcom/import/export.... click on it, and follow the instructions.... I usually save it to documents... then go into Ancestry, and click on the *import gedcom* I think it is on the opening page, where it gives a list of the trees you have... then just follow the instructions... it is a while since I did any tree work, so I have forgotten exactly!!

Good luck

Love
