Product Description

Reunion is a genealogy software program -- a "family tree program" -- for the Macintosh. Reunion received the highest rating for genealogy software in MacWorld, MacAddict, and Mac Home Journal magazines. Reunion helps you to document, store, and display information about your family -- your ancestors, descendants, cousins, etc. It records names, dates, places, facts, plenty of notes, sources of information, pictures, sounds, and videos. It shows family relationships in an elegant, graphic form -- people and families are linked in an easy-to-understand fashion. Reunion makes it easy to publish your family tree information -- even if you want to share it on the Web or carry it on your iPod. You can automatically create common genealogy reports, charts, and forms, as well as birthday calendars, mailing lists, questionnaires, indexes, and other lists. Reunion even creates slideshows, calculates relationships, ages, life expectancies, and statistics. Reunion also creates large, graphic tree charts allowing complete on-screen editing of boxes, lines, fonts, and colors. Wall charts for family reunions are one of its specialties.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Macintosh Genealogy Software. Get it! July 6, 2008

By John B. Kalla

I've used Reunion since version 6, I think, and it is the best genealogy software I've ever used. I've tried Family Tree Maker on Windows and Reunion blows it away. FTM is just ugly, where Reunion has a nice interface and is easy to use. You can export your family tree to the GEDCOM standard and upload it to Geni.com, or import your old Windows family tree file into Reunion, though you'll have to import all the media files separately, as GEDCOM doesn't seem to support media.

I considered other Mac genealogy programs, but decided to stick with Reunion. One of the great things about this software is the fantastic personal support that leister.com gives you. BTW, this is a universal app, in case you're wondering. A lot of genealogy applications seem to be lagging behind in that respect.

All in all, I consider this the best genealogy software available, on mac or Windoze. You can't go wrong with Reunion!

<update> It's 2009 now, and I've owned this application for quite some time, and I still agree with my review. Get this software! You won't regret it!

5.0 out of 5 stars There is simply no competition. March 3, 2008

By ZL

The absolute king of genealogy and "family tree" software. The best feature I've discovered so far is the ability to export your entire family tree as a series of web pages that Reunion will create and customize for you, in both plain HTML and CSS formats. Simply export and upload to your web space, and voila. There are a handful of free options out there, but they are mostly feature-starved and buggy. For a meager 99 dollars, Reunion blows them all out of the water.

This is as superb as they come. Excellent graphing choices, Family tree generation and lists of all sources. Provides ability to move, edit, change all data entries as the user desires. Great facility in moving relatives within the tree as facts emerge.
