I’m also looking forward to using the iPhone version in a year or so when I finally break down and get one. Managing sources is easy, though some coaching on appropriate citation would be helpful. I’m looking forward to playing with the web presentation as I learn to edit the CSS. The presentation is easy to navigate through family cards, showing parents, grandparents and children on the same screen. It’s the best filing system I’ve seen, very easy to use with drag and drop insertion on each individual or family card. I like how Reunion manages related files, allowing me to publish all of my research, including PDFs of original census images, birth and death certificates, photos and other media for individuals and families. Again, publication for the web was the determining factor. I did some research and switched to Reunion 9 for Mac, which is the granddaddy of Mac genealogy apps.
#REUNION GENEALOGY SOFTWARE FOR MAC MAC OS X#
There used to be a Windows version, but that was discontinued in favor of the Mac OS X version. Heredis isn’t supported well, with few updates and patches. This is unacceptable, no matter how much I like the app. Specifically, it would hang up when I was entering locations, and then insert “Mississippi” for birth locations when I restarted the app. However, Heredis had some bugs in the app that altered data. Heredis also offered the 3-D family tree long before other Mac apps, though I found it too slow and cumbersome to be of any use. I like this feature to provide a link to servants and lodgers that might show up in the tree somewhere else, or that might provide an entry for someone else doing research. It easily manages private individuals, allows for witnesses, and multiple links for individuals for whom there is not a blood tie. I like the clean presentation, and I especially like the way it inserts a pedigree chart for each individual.
#REUNION GENEALOGY SOFTWARE FOR MAC PROFESSIONAL#
It’s a very professional application that easily manages a lot of information, but I chose it for how it published the data to HTML for the web.
So, 10,000 individuals! How do I keep it all sorted?įor a long time I used a French application called Heredis. There’s an awful lot in those documents alone. It makes me want to dig deeper, to know their stories beyond what can be found on family trees, and in the census, and in birth and death certificates. I recently passed 10,000 individuals in my genealogy database, most of whom have some blood or marriage connection. Without the internet and software for managing huge database, genealogy wouldn’t be nearly as addictive as it is.
