I use an iMac running MacFamilyTree and GenesReunited will not import the GEDCOM file; it just comes up with an error that means nothing and fails.

I was wondering if anyone else uses a Mac and if so what family tree software do they use and whether they have been successful in importing a GEDCOM file into GenesReunited. Also do they use Mac's Safari browser or use a different one?

This trying to maintain 2 Family Tree's is painfull. Any help would be appreciated.

I use a Mac and GR doesn't work at all on my version of Safari - 1.3.2 which is a bit ancient. It's ok on Firefox (version 2.0.0.20) and on Opera (version 9.64).

Ancestry doesn't support Safari either - they recommend Firefox.

You can download both Firefox and Opera for free.

I use Reunion on my Mac and have had no problems exporting the GEDCOM file to it.

Sorry I read that wrongly. I have not tried to import the Reunion tree to GR so cannot help.

Many Thanks
