Wow, Antonio.
You will love the upgrades since version 5.
It's also more stable on the newer computers.
I've been using v7 all day today and there are only minor changes I have noticed from version 6. I think the main improvement is at the background level, the code, which makes it stable. It probably became an issue because of the newer operating systems like the new Windows.
The creator of the program is also great to deal with. He always listens to suggestions and helps with any problems. And I believe the biggest strength was at the beginning when people from many languages could use it in their own language. Maybe that's what you are doing. I used to have a German version, but don't bother with that anymore.
I started with PAF the first few years and didn't like the lack of accents back then. Brother's Keeper was way ahead of it with just about any accents. I still can't make a certain Hungarian character with an accent over the O, but I'm OK with that.

But if you never do pay them, you still have a full working version. I believe the term is share ware, but maybe not.Google for Brother's Keeper 7 to download it.Write me here for any help you need with it:But if you are first trying it out, there is no need to convert older version data files. You might instead have to make a gedcom from any currently used genealogy program. If you are starting from scratch, just install and go for it.I've been using this program for 18 years. I have tried many others, but always stuck with this one.Doug da Rocha Holmes
