Family Treemaker and Reunion are two different programs but all genie software programs are compatible with each other through GEDCOM file format. Whatever program you are using, export to Gedcom, then from any other program, import from the gedcom. Easy as that.

Jillaine: I, too, am considering converting my PAF files over to something that Mac recognizes. Since it's been a couple yrs now since you addressed this, are you still happy with the process and how Reunion has been??? How compatible is Reunion with Family Tree Maker? I have relatives who use that in Windows and it would be helpful if we could exchange files w/o messing up format etc, but I don't know if Mac recognizes FTM or not. Has it been a HUGE adjustment for you to get used to the Mac genealogy program?? Do you regret going over to the Mac and leaving Windows? I have NEVER worked with a Mac, only Win and am a bit nervous but I u'stand Mac is much more "user-friendly". Thanks!

Jillaine - now that you've used Reunion 4 yrs, are you very satisfied w/it and how your PAF files converted??? Are they still interchangeable with other genealogists who use Family Tree Maker?? Thx!!
