Apple for genealogy

There is a commonly inaccurate perception that there are no programs for
doing genealogy on Apple Macintosh computers. As it turns out, the list
of available programs is very limited, and there are barely enough
offerings to make the Macintosh a viable platform for those doing their
family history. But there are at least two or three programs that
compete favorably with anything available on the Windows/PC type
computers.

The now old Personal Ancestral File (PAF) program, called Family Records, was one of the first extensive programs for the
Apple operating system. Unfortunately, the support of the program was
discontinued after version 2.3.1 and after some Apple operating system
upgrades it ceased to be a viable product. Translated, that means the
program would not work on newer computers. There are a few programs
available that use either the old PAF format or use the program itself as a
basis for the present offering.
