If you’re interested or curious about what it’s like to use the Macintosh genealogy software Reunion 9 for Mac, you’ll like this video: A Brief Video Introduction to the Genealogy Software Reunion 9 for Mac. In it I demonstrate the metaphor used for the interface, adding and editing some people, creating a family group sheet, and generating a pedigree chart.

Ben, in a part of this screen cast you showed users how to add a source in Reunion as well as add multimedia to that source. Would you be able to do a screen cast on how to best use sources in iFamily and how to add multimedia to that source as you did here?
Absolutely! In fact, I have already recorded the screencasts wherein I do the same tasks with iFamily for Leopard and MacFamilyTree. They'll be released soon.
Ben, I really enjoyed your video on Reunion for Mac. Tell me can you bring over the info from a tree built on Ancestry.com to Reunion?
Hi, Barbara.
You sure can. I have a screencast that covers the Ancestry.com part—
creating the GEDCOM file:

Once you have the GEDCOM on your Mac, import it into Reunion 9.

Ben, does Reunion have a report that can be created of possible problems? I'm thinking about a woman giving birth too young, person dies before they are born, etc. Reunion does give an alert when entering but what about when you create a new family from a GEDCOM.
Also, how do you delete unwanted files. I have created a new family from a GEDCOM to check the information for a friend. Now I can't get rid of that unwanted file.
You can create a date feasibility report. That's covered in the screencast in this article:

You've got to locate the file in the Finder and delete it there. Reunion 9 family files are normally stored in Documents:Reunion Files in your home directory.
