Mac OS X Software and Information
Personal Ancestry Writer II (PAWriter II) version 49 was updated to 25 Feb 2006. It’s a MacOS/Mac OS X Genealogy Application designed to have features similar to the original Personal Ancestral File (PAF) for MacOS/Classic. The 25 Feb 2006 release is mainly oriented towards improvements in navigation.
Reunion Planner X 6.4 is available. It’s exactly what it sounds like – a reunion planning application. It runs on either MacOS or Mac OS X (there is a Windows version available). It’s $59.95 with a demo available for download. They also have a service to translate reunion information from a spreadsheet.
Changes:
* Added a new Comments label for printed Memory Books
* Added MapQuest address search for the Directory
Description:
Genealogy Pro 2.0 Pre-Release 5. That’s right, a 10th Mac genealogy application that is being actively developed (and since the Intel transition was first announced, I believe all 10 have seen or will shortly see new releases, and while they may not be Universal Binaries, they still should run just fine under Rosetta).
This pre-release should be the final pre-release version. It requires Mac OS X 10.2.8, and sells for $20 (with a 30-day free trial).

Changes:
ohmiGene 0.91.2 is available. ohmiGene is “software for the creation and the management of genealogical data … which works on MacOS X and Windows, even Linux. A database created on Mac works on PC (Windows or Linux), and vice versa. The structure of the database was defined to be in maximal agreement with the GEDCOM format: if any context concerning the submission of a file to the church LDS is absent, almost totality of the other contexts are correctly handled (import, manipulation and export…) : OhmiGene is a software which respects a GEDCOM file at import (and export).”
