Hi I used to use phpgedview in the past. Now I am planning to move to phpgedview. I guess the last version of my family tree was created with phpgedview 4.1.2 if I am not wrong.
How to I Import the .GED file without loosing the media references or facts?

You have the media files? In PhpGedView, they were (probably) in a folder /media

You have the GED files?

If you have both of these, then create a new installation of webtrees.

In webtrees, create a new family tree.
Copy the media files to /data/media
Copy the GED files to /data
Import the GED file into the tree

That should be it.

Sometimes, phpGedView stored media file names as "media/photo.jpg" instead of just "photo.jpg".
You can check this by looking in the GED file.

If this is the case, there is an import option to remove media paths. Import the GED again, and remove the path "media/".

> I have multiple GED files each file as different media folder.

Then you can create many different media folders. e.g.

media/folder1, media/folder2, media/folder3, ...
media1, media2, media3, ...

You can select the folder for each tree in the tree-preferences page.
