Using a MACINTOSH To Do Your Genealogy
If you use a Macintosh or are planning to buy a new computer to do your Genealogy, this should help you get started with a Mac. I have been using a Mac since 1995 and doing Genealogy since 2000. If you have questions email: Larry Rauch
The premier software for the Mac is REUNION by Leister Productions, Inc.
Visit their website for details. Many of your questions answered here how to use. They have
a DEMO for free download and test.
It is the program I use. "the family tree software for Macintosh"
NEW! REUNION 9 now available! Click here for new features.
The browser of choice on a Mac is SAFARI. It's so good Microsoft decided not to upgrade their Internet Explorer for Macintosh. Another choice is Firefox by Mozilla. Or Opera 9.1

TIP: With all Macs using the current OS X software, anything you can print can be saved in PDF, such as Census Records from Ancestry so it is easier to enlarge and read and can be kept on your computer or a back up for quick and easy access. No more searching in stacks or files and still needing to use a magnifying glass!!
TIP 2: Scan all your birth records, death records, wills, newspaper clippings, old pictures, virtually anything, then save as JPG or PDF to keep and organize on your computer for immediate access. You can always print if you must send to someone!
