Since you mentioned that you use the three programs, how do you update them? do you keep one up-dated at all times and then export a gedcom to the others to update? Just curious, cause I kept FTM 5.0 updated for the longest time and finally just went with legacy all the way. I just now deleted all of the back-ups that I kept from FTM , heck, I had ten years worth of FTM back-ups. Made me a little nervous to to delete them but I am backed - up thoroughly with Legacy.
