I have Family Tree Maker 2009 on my Windows PC, but when I got my Mac Notebook, I just had to have a family tree software on here too since I'm on this one more than the other computer. Anyway, I have Reunion on here. I uploaded my Family Tree Program into a GEDCOM and was able to transfer all my info to Reunion.<br />

I've been using Family Tree Maker for so many years so it took some getting used to Reunion, but I do like it. I must be obsessed or something because I do make sure I add new info to…

<br />
It's my sense of security to make sure I have a family tree software on both computers. :-)<br />

I haven't done a lot with it yet, but I bought MacFamilyTree for about $35. You can check it out at <a href="http://www.synium.de/products/macfamilytree/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.synium.de/products/macfamilytree/index.html</a> and see what you think. I am only new to this business so I can't compare the merits of various software and I only started on family history after I already had a Mac.

I'm leaning towards that. I hear that Reunion makes very nice/stylish reports. My only hesitatton is that my system is just the very minimum of what Reunion requires. And it may cost an aditional $100-150 to upgrade. Yet even with that said it still makes sense to stay cheaper. Thank you for your input.

Honestly I'd go with the cheaper option. I'd rather spend $99.00 on a genealogy software than $200-$300 on a new computer.

IMO, stay with the mac's. I use a PC for everything, but in your place since you have a desktop mac and a laptop mac, I would stay with them, since you would only use the PC for genealogy. Most likely your old programs would need to be updated for a fairy new PC. You have a MAC laptop for travel, and you are going to have to enter a lot of data anyway, so stay with what you know.<br />
<br />
Just my opion.<br />
