According to Richard Eastman's Genealogy Blog of FEB 1997 http://www.eogn.com/archives/news9708.txt The Mayflower CD Produced for Family Tree Maker does work on Macs. However, you need Family Tree Maker for the Mac to operate the CD. I cannot personally vouch for this, but you may want to explore the (old) article yourself. I do note the "Mayflower Descendant Legacy" produced by Search & ReSearch does state it works only for Windows systems.

Unfortunately, I didn't read the fine print when I placed the order. I didn't know I was purchasing an ancestry.com product packaged so it can only be used on Windoze. The fine print on the back of the jewel box says you need FTM for Windoze or Family Archive Viewer (also Windoze only) to use the set. I don't do Windoze any more. I eradicated it from my life almost a year ago. And I refuse to run Parallels, CrossOver or anything that is really still having all the headaches, and more, of Windoze. Is my only option to send the set back for a refund? And plan for a visit to the New York City Library?

Anyway, I used FTM a few years ago on Windoze, and moved on even before I left Windoze fully. So I don't run FTM just as I don't run Windoze. [I'm settling for Reunion for those that might be curious. Settling because I find its sourcing rather crude, too crude for me to use as is, and I am having to write my own rtf postprocessing scripts to make it do Mills style source formats. My preference would be if TMG would make a Mac version, but they won't].
