Update: The poll is here

First off, MacPAF has a poll going about layout/look in regards to how the Pedigree View should display empty buttons – you can vote here – this will be the first of several polls taken over the next few months as MacPAF 1.0 nears release.

MacPAF Preview Release:
From Logan: “The end is in sight for the first preview release. There are only a handful of things left to do before I’ll feel comfortable letting some of you beat on it and put it through its paces. If all goes well, sometime this weekend or during next week I will release the first public preview…..Depending on how the preview release goes, I expect a final 1.0 release in 1 to 3 months”.

Family Ties/Familienbande (25 Dec 2005)

by

About two weeks ago, a new version of Family Ties/Familienbande was released. It’s a free Mac OS X (and possibly MacOS 8.6/9 with Carbon) genealogy application from Stefan Mettenbrink. As we’ve noted in the past, it’s only available in German, however it is useable by non-German speaking genealogists. We’ve provided a page with a list of translated features here.

Genealogical Computing Magazine and Reunion

by

Over on ReunionTalk, it was noted by Pete Cook and others that the latest issue of Genealogical Computing Magazine has incorrect and/or older information listed concerning Reunion (in regards to its performance capabilities concerning records and genealogy data).

Genealogical Computing Magazine is a product of Ancestry.com, and appears to be on its way out – they aren’t taking anymore subscriptions, no single issues are available to non-subscribers, and only currently subscribers have access. I have not seen the latest issue, but it would not surprise me that they are using older data if the magazine is about to fold.
