Re: Family Tree program aka Reunion
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! Steven Tan
Family tree program
hi all, I am looking for an old mac family tree program to read the files created by it. I think it might be called Reunion or something. Please contact me off list if you know of anything. Thanks!! Steven
Re: Family tree program
Steven 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. http://www.familysearch.org/ 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.

There is a free demo of the latest version downloadable from their website at http://www.leisterpro.com (I don't know if the demo would allow you to open the file to look at it though) Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
