Hello, I tried a couple "free" sites to download gedcom online, but they came with other requirements.  Does anyone have a suggestion for downloading a free gedcom program that would best mimic my family tree on Family Tree Maker.

Ancestris is free, Java-based so it works on PCs but also Macs and Linux systems, and generates pure Gedcom so you remain in control of your data: http://ancestris.org

It's also very powerful and extensible.

FamilyTree Maker itself has a facility for exporting  a GedCom version off a tree. Click on File in the People mode,   chose Export File and then 'Export as GedCom file' is the bottom option in the dropdown menu - at least it is in my version of FamilyTree Maker.
