Family Tree software. What criteria are important?

Many of todays version of family tree programs can read other programs....

Thanks for the offer, Dave, but now that I can resurrect the trees in BK v7 I have the data to hand. Initially I was worried that the BK would remain a 16- or 32- bit trap for data. My fear was that I would have to re-key everything, andf I thought “THIS time around I will make sure I can export to a common format (e.g. csv or html) BEFORE I key in the data.”
Too, I was worried that there was data in there that was no longer available; that is, I;’d keyed in data from emails that were lost or papers that were discarded.

Cheers
Chris

Next time you are out for a cup and internet time, Google "GEDCOM" and you will find all kinds of things you can do with a GEDCOM file.
