The programme does it all for you, no worries at all. Just yesterday I upgraded my version 4.4 to Version 7 and it was a snap. Everything is still there and I have over 2000 names. Mind you I did make a backup disk before I started as an insurance policy. I have always been satisfied with the product and find it does everything I require. I have never bought any of the extras they sell. I don't feel it necessary unless you have lots of people in the States but I have used their free Webpages. At the moment I have deleted mine because we found some changes in our trees where we had made the wrong assumptions. Hope this helps. Audrey in Ingersoll, Ontario
