I was nervous because sometimes their software is quirky and I was concerned whether I could transfer over 12 years of research to the new software. I'd switched computers and though I had the tree backed up, I couldn't find my Version 16 software.

Amazon had very mixed reviews about 2012 version, but so far I've found it to be the best version I've dealt with so far. To be on the safe side, I didn't set it to automatically sync to Ancestry.com, as that seemed to be where people had the most problems.
