Data Synchronization between Reunion 9 and Ancestry.com
I switched to my Mac just about a year ago and still have not found "the right" genealogy software for me. I was a previous user of Family Tree Maker (v16) and subsequently the Ancestry.com web site. I really like the integration between the PC software, the web site, and its research capabilities. I still maintain the Ancestry.com site since it allows me to do online research and share information. I would really want a Mac version of Family Tree Maker, but Ancestry states that they are not willing to invest the resources to do so. Additionally, I really do not want to load Parallels and Windows--justing inviting security problems.
I've read numerous reviews and downloaded Reunion, MacFamily Tree and iFamily. I like features of each of them, but am leaning to Reunion. However, I want to find a way to sync my data on my MacBook with the data on Ancestry.com. I have not really tested the GEDCOM import/export functions since the Reunion demo software does not allow imports and exports. Also, I would want this to an automatic process just like my mail, calendars, contacts are synced with MobileMe.
Does anyone have thoughts?
Cheers,
Dave

I have reunion 9 and have had it for awhile (Reunion 8)
Making the change from one to the other has been easy and there is good help from Reunion with questions and concerns.
I have done a GEDCOM quite as a novice and it worked but I cannot tell you how I did it now.
I love my Reunion and changed from PAF 2.something from years ago because there was no updates for the Mac. the changeover was easy.
I am not sure about all the questions you have. I use iGoogle to coordinate all my genealogy and have one page for translations and gmail etc. Hard to describe b ut iGoogle let's you have gadgets from genealogy sites and mail, to do lists etc.
I learned about this from the SCGS Jamboree and Lisa Louise Cook at genealogywise.com

Thanks for the information. Sorry I took so long to reply. I recently retired from the Air Force and have moved back home from Germany; which has kept me from participation. I am familiar with iGoogle since my wife used it for her Girl Scout web site.
Cheers,
Dave
