Oops! My 6.0 version is gone in my Mac. I guess that's how my hubby
go it "accidentally" transferred. Now how do I proceed?

I still would like to renumber my RINs and MRINs without myself as
#1. I switched from Legacy 6.0 deluxe (on a Mac in Virtual PC) to
Legacy 7.0 (to a Dell computer) deluxe last week but didn't see a
prompt to renumber. I also lost all of my sources too in the
transfer. I couldn't figure out how to get the files off of Virtual
PC and my husband finally did it "by accident." I'm wondering if we
should try to make a GEDCOM file of my 6.0 info, figure out how to
get that out of the Mac which was the problem in the first place,
and then put that into 7.0. Would that retain the sources and also
give me the prompt to renumber?
We have LOTS of genealogists in one name I am working on. The first
ancestor began researching it over 100 years ago and people have
been working on it ever since. I was elected the new Family
Historian of that side and want to work with others in a more
cooperative manner. It is just like me not to have myself as #1 but
also it might show a little family solidarity if I have our line
organized with someone more likely as #1. The family is so large
there are 21 lines with thousands of people in each line. There
have been marriages between the lines etc and we need things
computerized. Most is in typed or professionally printed books.
I'm working on locating who has lines in genealogy software to make
it easier to import into one large system for reference and each
line separate for more manageable publication etc. The other person
who was interested in being Family Historian wants to publish a 3-
ring binder book which is what I already began. It might be a
computer disk instead of a book, but so far there's so much info and
so many people working on it that (and some very possessive of it)
but no one yet that I know of has any filing system for it but me.
It wouldn't be that tough for me to redo at this time. So should I
retransfer or what? I already deleted the messages about the loss
of sources. Would this correct that as well? Is everyone losing
sources when they upgrade or is it just transferring between
computers or what? Is it always best to load from a GEDCOM into a
new version? I want to figure out what I did wrong so I can be of
help to others in the family that I am influencing to switch to
Legacy.
