For example, if you want to know how many living relatives your grandmother had the day she got married, you select your grandmother and the Reference Date and a complete list of your grandmother’s living relatives that day is generated. On This Date lets you view the events in a selected family member’s life based upon a selected date. On This Date and Obituary Report are new to version 10.

On the left side is the new Navbar, a set of shortcuts that enable quick switching between a Tree and Family view of your family data and quick access to tools to search, mark, and create charts and reports and access logs. It’s easier to change categories in the Sidebar by simply clicking and holding on the black arrow at the top of the section. This is a nice feature, but seems oddly placed. Sources gives you a complete list, Multimedia shows all the images for a particular family member, and so on. It’s easy to search and to sort the results.Īt the bottom left of the main window is a menu that changes the type of data displayed in the new right-hand Sidebar. On the right of the main family view window is the new navigation Sidebar that changes easily between People, Sources, Places, Multimedia, and nine other categories/functions.

Well, I confess today I was completely wrong to wait.

Leister Productions, maker of Reunion for Mac, iPhone, and iPad, doesn’t tease their users with constant upgrades to the software, so this new version is a big deal. This is a wonderful upgrade to the previous version of the predominant family tree software for Mac users. Click here for more information. And now for my Reunion 10 for Mac Review. Using Macs & iPads for Genealogy is my latest genealogy guide.
