I updated my RootsMagic from version 4 to 6. I haven't really had a chance, really haven't felt up to going over it all at once to see the differences. I have been putting my 4 files together into one big one. I had gotten 3 of them imported using RM4. As I imported each one I would do the merging so that it would be a smaller job than if I left them to do when all the files were together. I got RM6 right before doing the last file so I worked in it. I tried to get it to do a duplicate search merge, and a pop-up briefly says I have 120 possible duplicates and then an empty Merge Duplicate Records box comes up. I'm sure I've done something wrong. I saw somewhere that there are learning videos online, so I will have to find them. I did try the Search FamilySearch. Works even for dummies! Awesome feature!
I work on WikiTree as much as I can, though lately that is not much. I try to get a dozen or so individuals on and then go back and add sources, photos and notes to them. In the process I find mistakes and can make notes for each person of additional sources I need to find. It's really a great way of going over old material and correcting mistakes.
