Wow! You know me from I don’t know where but okay. I am a u.s. researcher with may ties to the UK and UK Ireland (UKL). I have a Mac and a PC lap top to run my PAF program. My Mac family tree and is not as Christine says not very user friendly. Will the Family Tree Maker for Mac be more user friendly? I have never been able to do a GEDCOM and am will to transpose the old information if the new program is worth the effort. Too wordy, I know. Maybe I too excited for a program for my Mac. Also what do I need to do to join and use the services available?

Great news and about time )
I have stopped doing my family tree since purchasing a mac last year. I got fed up with the reliability of windows based laptops and then found FTM was not available. Please email us when it is released )

Hooray! At last you are recognising the needs of Mac users. Now when are you going to provide software so that we can help in the World Archives Project.

At last. I have a tree programme for my Mac, it has a lot of ‘features’ but it’s not very user friendly and to print out your tree is rubbish. Looking forward to getting the FTM.

Thrilled. I have a Mac for reliability but have to use the Windows side since I really only use it for genealogy and have to be linked to the ancestry side. This will sort me out and its about time. :>

I have found that there is nothing to match REUNION for Mac by Leister Productions. They make a fabulous tree programme.

Delighted to hear the news. As a Mac user there is currently nothing to match Family Tree Maker – I have to use FTM on a laptop running Vista.

Grateful if you would email when Mac FTM is available
