Re: Family Tree program aka Reunion

[Steven Tan]

Thanks to all who reply to my search for Reunion. Graham from the list 
has helped me find the version that I needed and i helped a friend who 
wanted to get the info out of her old mac disks. (Now she can even 
edit, print and work on it!)


It is useful to have a few vintage Macs lying around, you never know 
when you will need it!

As another Reunion user I would add that if you are interested in genealogy
it is an excellent and easy to use product. There is a free demo of the
latest version downloadable from their website at

(I don't know if the demo would allow you to open the file to look at it
though)

Cheers

Neil

If it is an actual Reunion file you have the only way to read it
would be through the Reunion program. If it is a gedcom file
exported from the Program you will be fine.

All Family Tree Genealogy programs have the ability to export and
import what they call a gedcom file (.ged) which are
interchangeable on both the Mac and Windows platforms. A gedcom
file is a database file but specific for use with genealogy
programs.

In other words if some one sends you a gedcom file you will be able
to read it on any Genealogy program regardless if it Mac or PC
variety.

Without going to the expense of buying a latest commercial product
like Reunion with all the great features. You can purchase a copy
of Mac 'Personal Ancestral File 2.3.1' for US$10. It runs on Mac
OS 7 onwards and does the job very well, I've used it for years.

I do have the Reunion program, so if you can't get the file in the
gedcom format I would be able convert it for you.

I am looking for an old mac family tree program to read the files created by
