It's about time that Mac users are recognized! Thank you, thank you!
I use Reunion and thought that I would also use FTM and so tried to export the files to FTM and could not make it work. Could someone help me with some advice - I realise that this might be easy for some others. MY Mac is partitioned to enable me to run both Mac and PC programs.
I assume that you exported to a GEDCOM file in Reunion and then imported the GEDCOM file in FTM. Are you using Bootcamp, VMWare Fusion, or Parallels on your Mac? I have VMWare Fusion. While in Windows I exported a GEDCOM file from a Windows application, copied the file to the Mac side, and imported the GEDCOM file into a Mac program that I likemuch better than Reunion, iFamiyforLeopard--don't be fooled by the name as the program will run perfectly fine on Tiger as well.
I have been researching genealogy for years but have not found a good program that works on a MAC. I realize that I am behind the times. I would really like to hear from the more experienced researchers what works best.
Thanks
