(Crossover-Wine doesn't work with current versions of FH.) We have a number of family history researchers within WaMug, and your responses are eagerly sought ! Thanks in advance. 2013-01-17T22:14:13+00:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/857#3803 Trevor Hewson info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ The only FH program I have used is Reunion from Lester Productions. I would thoroughly recommend it. Their e-mail support has always been excellent on the few occasions I have called upon it. 2013-01-18T09:31:10+00:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/857#3804 Douglas Cheney info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ I am using Mac Family Tree which is a good program, and another one I have used is iFamily for Leopard which I gave a short talk on a Dorchester some time ago 2013-01-19T10:48:02+00:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/857#3806 Mike Hart info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ We are using an old version of Reunion (8), which we still find very good. The latest version (for Mac OS 10.5 or newer) is getting good reviews. However we see that Family Tree Maker Platinum for Mac is now available (for ditto) and gets good reviews too. We wonder if anyone has tried that yet? We are thinking of upgrading or changing.

Gramps is versatile, and seems to have most of the features of the commercial programmes, and must therefore be worth a trial, at least! 2013-01-21T17:45:54+00:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/857#3812 Euan Williams info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Well, that's a good bunch of suggestions and my contact has asked me to reply: "And still the replies come in! What a wonderful network of people. Please thank them all for me. I do appreciate it. " Thanks from me too, I hope we shall have a new member soon. 2013-03-03T12:41:25+00:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/857#3901 Mark Ford info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ ...and a review of 14 here.
