Actually I'd copied my entire /home branch but had restored only the
Genealogy folder into the same relative location as it'd had had in the FC6
installation, so any environment files that were contained at higher levels
in the tree were not restored.  Anyway, the db_dump and db_load solution
suggested in the document Espen pointed me to seems to have taken care of
the problem.

Much appreciation for the quick and helpful responses.
