After In installed the migration tool I looked at the db names before I Installed JBS 7 and their names ended with _genesis and after I installed the component I got new db without the _genesis... and none of my data was available it was a fresh install

Hi memo,
unfortunatelly, I cannot find the exact description of migration, so I try in my own words:
1. install migration (or backup) tool in your Joomla! 1.5 with Biblestudy 6.x
2. do a backup using the tool
3. install Joomla! 1.6 but do not install Biblestudy 7
4. install migration tool
5. call the migration component and either 'Upload and Migrate your JBS database' or 'Import and Migrate from tmp folder', press submit
6. (now the database should look as you ecpect it)
7. install Biblestudy 7
8. review admin settings and template settings, as there were a lot of modifications and several could not be migrated

Please have a try!
Anton

I followed exactly as the instructions and your post say but I still got the 2 databases.

I can probably rename the db from _genesis to the new db JBS installed but Im not sure if I will get ant errors on the future

Can you let us know what version of JBS you upgraded from? That db table is not in 6.2.x versions

Jbs 6.2.4 was on my joomla 1.5

I did a very rude attempt: With Biblestudy 7 already installed on my Joomla! 1.6 I invoked the migration import again. Result: Migration simply overwrites the database entries with my JBS 6.2 content. On my system migration does work as expected.

The only thing I imagine is an outdated migration tool or backup file done with outdated migration tool. Would you please make sure (and repeat if it is not the case) that the JBS 6.2 backup and the migration import is done with an up to date migration tool.
