* The safety way is to import it into '''[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=25770&package_id=109309 Gramps-2] ''' and to export this updated database. This will generate a new Gramps XML more compatible for an import into '''Gramps-3'''.**If you operating system do not support '''Gramps-2 ''' any more as some dependancies has been removed since '''Gramps-2 ''' (''GCONF, gnome-doc-utils, yelp, python-reportlab, etc...'') or updated like python libs and related, then you could have a look at [[Linux_Genealogy_CD|Linux Genealogy Live CD]].

* Also, you may [[Using_the_bug_tracker|submit your old database on bug-tracker]], mark this report as '''private ''' (''will be hidden for non-developers'') and a developer will try to help you for updating your database.
