Re: Reunion for Mac
Reunion for Mac. My current genie programme requires Rosetta which Lion will not support. So if I upgrade I need to purchase alternate genealogy software. Reunion is obviously the way to go but I am confused by the pricing. If I purchase in Australia it seems I will have to pay $179 but if I order the CD from the US I am quoted 109USD including postage (there is a rider that, if applicable, customs duty might be applied when received). Given the current rate of exchange there is a vast difference in these prices. Although I don't know, I doubt there would be any customs duty on a single CD. Any advice would be appreciated.

Re: Reunion for Mac
Hi Ronni Thanks for all your help. Reunion now installed and GEDCOM file imported from Heredis. As you said, all so easy. The only thing that doesn't match the directions is that when I go to About Reunion it shows 9.0c rather than 9.07.

Hi Laura, Yes, Reunion 9.0c is the latest version. The Help file included in the Reunion Application under “Help” is an exceptionally good Manual. Click on “Help” Contents to access the Manual.

Re: Reunion for Mac
Hi Ronni Thanks for your input and for the Offlist instructions for downloading and installing Reunion. The information has now been printed. No, not Family Tree Maker but Heredis, which runs under Rosetta. I imagine the instructions for exporting a GEDCOM file would be similar regardless of the program involved. Again many thanks for your help. I'm really looking forward to finally having Reunion, something I've wanted for a long time. So indirectly, Rosetta not being available with Lion has forced the change. Kind regards Laura On 15/06/2011, at 12:58 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Laura, Were you using Family Tree Maker? If so go here for instructions: http://www.leisterpro.com/doc/version9/questions/answers/ftm.php I’ll also email you “Offlist” instructions “Reunion 9-downloading and installing Reunion.pdf” Many Reunion users are former Family Tree Maker users who switched to Reunion successfully using a GEDCOM file to transfer their data. The instructions below are for exporting a GEDCOM file from Family Tree Maker and importing the GEDCOM file into Reunion 9. We suggest you bookmark this page and refer to it while transferring your data. Step 1: Open your family file in Family Tree Maker. Step 2: From the main menu, choose File - Export File - Entire File. Step 3: From the Save as type popup menu, choose GEDCOM (*.GED) Step 4: To save the GEDCOM file to your Windows Desktop, click Desktopon the left side of the window. Step 5: Click Save and a new window will open. Make sure the settings in the Export to GEDCOM window are as follows: Step 6: Click OK. The GEDCOM file will appear on your Windows Desktop. (Note that the .GED extension may not be visible when the file is on the Desktop.) Step 7: Move this file to your Macintosh via USB flash drive, CD-R, network, or email. Step 8: On your Macintosh, drag and drop the GEDCOM file onto theReunion 9 icon which is inside your Applications folder.
