Researching Your Roots

This is a 2-part program on Genealogy and the Reunion software using the MAC. In the first part, Art Nied will describe the Genealogy Methods to obtain records and information using the sources available over the internet. This would include information from Ellis Island, church records, schools, Mormon Church, foreign consular service and military records. In the second part, Wayne Preston will give a demonstration for compiling and documenting the information into the REUNION software that was specifically developed to use the full integrated features of the Macintosh.
Reunion helps you to document, store, and display information about your family — your ancestors, descendants, cousins, etc. It records names, dates, places, facts, plenty of notes, sources of information, pictures, sounds, and videos. It shows family relationships in an elegant, graphic form — people and families are linked in an easy-to-understand fashion. Reunion makes it easy to publish your family tree information — even if you want to share it on the Web or carry it on your iPod. You can automatically create common genealogy reports, charts, and forms, as well as birthday calendars, mailing lists, questionnaires, indexes, and other lists. Reunion even creates slideshows, calculates relationships, ages, life expectancies, and statistics.
