You will get the best results if you go backwards in FTM to version 2012 and import that. You can use either the backup or database file. It works in RM7 right now so there is no need to wait for RM8.

Is there a good way to find import errors or compare gedcoms?
I have zero interest in buggy, feature-limited 32 bit RM7 and have no reason to switch from FTM 2019 until RM8 appears. FTM is a decent native mac program although the source citation feature feels awkward and clumsy. MacKiev also lacks a good user forum (non-facebook) and tech support compared to RM.

If you use a GEDCOM there will be a .LST file that will show anything that didn't import. You could use File>Compare Files in RM against a FTM direct import and GEDCOM import to see what the differences are.
