What is an AFT file?

AFT files mostly belong to Ancestral Quest. Ancestral Quest Genealogy Data File: This AFT file is used mainly to store family tree information. It holds genealogical data such as names, dates, events, and relationships. The file is created and read by Ancestral Quest software.
In other cases, AFT files are used for combine harvester data by AGRO-MAP. These files contain information about field harvests and machinery records.
Tips when working with AFT files:

If the file holds family tree data, open it with Ancestral Quest. You can find more details on the Ancestral Quest website.

If the file holds combine harvester data, use the AGRO-MAP software designed for agricultural data.

Always use the correct software as AFT files use specialized internal structures.
