DESCRIPTION
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. You can automatically create common genealogy reports, charts, and forms, as well as birthday calendars, mailing lists, questionnaires, indexes, and other lists. Reunion even calculates relationships, ages, life expectancies, and statistics.
Reunion also creates large, high-resolution, graphic charts allowing complete on-screen editing of boxes, lines, fonts, and colors. Wall charts are one of its specialties.
Limitations of the demo version:
- Only 50 people can be entered in a family file.
- Import/Export is disabled.
- Charts and slideshows can't be saved.
- Printed output will be watermarked.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 9.0b:
- Snow Leopard (Mac OS 10.6) - fixed cosmetic glitch that appeared in some lists.
- GEDCOM Import - fixed a problem introduced in Reunion 9.0a that prevented structured source fields from being imported properly.
- Charts - fixed display and printing issues with graphic images on charts.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.

STUDIODAVE56 At $60 for an upgrade, this would have to be twice the program it was before and it is not. Rewriting it to work natively on Intel is not worth any upgrade price since it already worked. Not enough new features for the price. For that price I will look for another program first. Still using 8 till it stops working all together.

NSGIRL71 Twice as expensive as the competition, and a demo so crippled that you can't make any kind of informed decision. I can't throw that much money at a genealogy app without even knowing how it handles a GEDCOM import. The automatic source feature only works for adding new persons' names - so when you are entering a bunch of details from a single source, you have to select it again for every fact. iFamily handles this much better, allowing you to set an active source and have all entries default to it. The Reunion set up is probably good for people who like to pick a person then add each detail for them, but if your workflow is to start with a source and then add each detail for all the people it references, Reunion would get very tedious.

RALPHM69 Old, antiquated program for a premium price. Have been using Reunion till Reunion 8, but then they charged 60 US$ for an minor update to Version 9. Reunion 9 still offered the old, hard to use interface like version 8. I bought MacFamilyTree for 49 US$, it offers many more features, a modern interface and is half the price.

FAHLMAN Great concept. Ugly, really, really ugly GUI. So ugly I can't use use even though it's full of features and is simple to use.

ANONYMOUS Good program, but still no unicode support, so I can't properly enter the non-Anglo half of my family. No use updating until they make the program play nice with other languages.

MORTEN DREIER Great program! I've used it for years and all versions have been great. Now I look forward to a iPhone version that syncs with this one :-)

LEOSPAUL A very good app. Native OS X, very stable, many features and simple to use. (I love the brushed metal interface and will miss it in Leopard.) - I'm quite sure you will sell a lot more if you reduce your price to MFT+$20 - the icon of the app itself is soooo ugly (which is strange since all the icons within the app are beautiful) - How about some Google Earth integration? A great feature included in MFT since its last update.

KRIS I have already paid for the upgrade, and I'm always satisfied with Reunion. Always. Stable program with nice "bells and whistles." My only concern is that $59.95 is a very costly upgrade. Perhaps Mr. Leister may consider a cheaper upgrade next time for users who have upgraded several times, or maybe those "charter members" can get a larger price break. Just a thought.

KCMAC We just downloaded this and MacFamilyTree. Reunion 8 is very easy to understand as soon as you open it. You just start typing and before you know what is going on, you have filled out the 35 people limit with the demo. Can't say the same about the other app although we did much prefer the charting on MacFamilyTree over Reunion. Give it a 4 for features due to this. We think the cost in this case is well worth it. Reunion is really nice and for us the clear winner.
