After building a small family tree (285 people) using Ancestry.com over the past few years and realizing that I need to get very serious about my family’s genealogy, several questions have come to mind.
Background facts: I stopped using Reunion 8 back in 2006. Two reasons come to mind: balance of family life issues and hitting dead ends in family history research. Ancestry.com seemed like a wonderful method to “easily” make progress…….. After attending a small family reunion over the July Fourth Holiday and using an old Reunion chart (24” X 36” pedigree format), I now realize the best use of Ancestry.com is to "easily gather information” - tons of information/hints to view, ponder over and decide about from many, many sources. But how to display all my verified family history “like on that large chart” led me to today’s questions.
My questions:
(A) How do I upgrade from Reunion 8 (on a 2009 iMac computer, OS X 10.8.5) to Reunion 11 (current 15” Mac Book Pro, OS X 10.11.5)?
(B) What is the suggested process to import GEDCOM files from my Ancestry.com file to Reunion 11?
Any suggestions or advice? Details are most welcome. The need to verify / compare the imported GEDCOM files in Reunion 11 is totally understood.
I just joined this Forum two days ago. Thanks in advance.
