Reunion 9.07 Review

by 9 Comments

The traditional, mature, feature rich, and pricey Macintosh genealogy application against which all others are measured.

Product Overview

Reunion 9 is the leading genealogy data management software for Macintosh. With it one can store, update, explore, and report on family history data. The data can consist of names, events, facts, sources, notes, and links to multimedia files (images, video, sound). Interacting with family data is modeled after a stack of cards called family cards, on which information regarding a family unit is presented. Family cards are linked to other family cards, making navigation feel natural. An extensive selection of charts and reports can be customized, viewed on-screen, and printed. Some charts can be printed as wall charts.
