Hi Paul, Thanks for the feedback. Maybe one day you will give us a demo of MacFamilyTree, of which I have no experience at all.
One question though with regards to Reunion. You mention the smooth import of your GEDCOM file by MacFamilyTree, is it because there were no questions asked before the import? I know that Reunion asks questions, which I guess is to make sure that the imported data is posted to the correct fields in its database. There could be some 'rogue' application which do not conform to the GEDCOM format entirely and that would be when the questions can come in handy. Good luck and please let us know how you are faring.
