Hi Neil and Steven, I do use both MacFamily Tree and Reunion, the latter for many years. Being a software freak (!) I try almost anything on the provisor the cost is not expensive. I have found Reunion to be very stable hence I use it for my main genealogy database. However MacFamily Tree does produce some very nice Family Trees, hence use it for producing Trees for my relatives.
I have kept up-to-date to with Reunion because it is a software produced for the Mac and Leister Productions having supported the Mac platform when others were deserting it in the years gone by, I want to keep supporting them. True, it may cost a bit more but its stability is proverbial. By the way I also use Heredis, which is also excellent, but Reunion remains my main database genealogy application. It is great that MacFamily Tree has offered to convert your Reunion database to a .ged file. As a precaution I do create Reunion gedcom files on a fairly regular basis which I then import into Heredis and MacFamily Tree. Wishing you all the best, Genealogically yours!

Also Reunion want $45.00 US just to upgrade. MFT is $49.95 AU and is in the App Store (so approved by Apple). MacFamilyTree is 64 bit (not sure if the latest Reunion 12 is 64 bit. MFT is also getting good reviews from people who have used it for a long time. But if you are moving away from Reunion, make sure you export a GEDCOM file before installing macOS Catalina. And maybe any other export formats offered. So you may be ready for whatever you migrate to. > On 13 Oct 2019, at 10:16 am, Neil Houghton <n...@possumology.com > <mailto:n...@possumology.com>> wrote: > > Hi Stephen, > > I must get back to my genealogy soon - itâs been far too long!! > > Out of interest, what is your reason for wanting to move from Reunion to > MacFamilyTree. > > Having been a Reunion user since (I think) Reunion 3 (when you got a disk and > a manual in the post!)
