Not directly

FTM 2009 only reads down to version 5

and FTM 3.4 only makes a GEDCOM version 4 not version 5.5 as FTM 2009 needs

Many solutions

Maybe the best to download the free Family Archive view and use it to read your FTM 3.4 file and save it as a 5.5 GEDCOM that FTM 2009 can open

Another option is download the lite version of FTM 2006

You need to get a 5.5 GEDCOM to use in FTM 2009

FTM 3 will not produce a 5.5 GEDCOM as the standard was not in existance when FTM 3 was released.

You can download the Family Archive Viewer which will read your version 3 FTM file and converrt it to GEDCOM 5.5

Go to http://ftm.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/ftm.cfg/php/enduser/std_alp.php?p_sid=-qpTdfKi and search for article 3673

In the case of UFT if it can export a version 5.5 GEDCOM then all is well

If it also has the same rpoblem then a solution (that also will work with FTM 3) is to download a free version of Legacy Family tree (Standard) or The Master Genealogist and use either to open the version 4 GEDCOM from UFT and/or FTM 3

Bit of trouble but works fine
