While scanning the transactions I noticed that I'm missing most of my genesis transactions.  How do I get those back?
you need to import your PTS private keys to the corresponding stake .. or import your complete wallet.dat ... is easier

They exists on the block chain and should come back automatically once your wallet is caught up

That's the problem.  My wallet is 100% synced.

Edit: I think I got it
So?

I missing most of my coins.  Do I need to resync block chain?
Thats normal is the wallet syncing?

The wallet is done syncing.  I did a rescan of the block chain, should that do it?

My hard drive went up so I had to go through the same process but on windows.
Yes that should do it, just make sure it syncs. I did have a issue where I had to exit the client because it got stuck during syncing but when I restarted it fired back up.
I would also make sure you are installing that latest version

When I backed up the wallet it created a Json file that had all the private and public keys.

so you are on the safe side ..

- Install the wallet
- open it up - do not create a new account
- go ti the main menu and choose "import wallet"
- select your wallet file
- type the passphrase you chose when you created the wallet originally (hope you still have that)
- wait for the import to be preformed
- you should see at least your account name

- the funds are either not their because you haven't resynced the blockchain (console-> wallet_resync_blockchain --- takes 30 minutes or so)
- .... or you have your funds in your PTS addresses and havent moved them out of the genesis block .. depends how you got to your btsx

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean.  I saved the Json file is on a USB stick.
