You can't beat it for stability, reliability, and ease of use. There are a number of FH programs available for Mac OS X (Google, Versiontracker, and the huge number of FH websites will guide you). I ended up using Reunion, after trying a couple of others. It does almost everything I want, including importing and exporting GEDCOM files, and producing numerous different types of reports and summaries. The electronic manual is the best I've seen. It's currently about £60, and worth it. Check their website: http://www.leisterpro.com/ Some of the Mac offerings are shareware, or even free, but I wouldn't be so confident of their versatility compared to Reunion. There is a downside with regard to Sussex however. The Sussex Marriage Index CD will not work on a Mac. As far as I can gather, it uses some Windows-only program to extract data from its database. If computers are your hobby, you could of course run Windows under OS X, but that would seem to be an extravagance if you only want it for that one thing! Have fun with the Leopard!

Hello Listers Re my previous email - the 1566 baptism of John s/o Thomas of Cliffe House was in All Saints' not St Clement's. Cheers Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia

Hello Listers I have a bell ringing that someone recently asked about The Cliffe House in Hastings. I had no interest in it at the time, and can't now even remember how long ago it was. However, in checking some entries for the surname BARLY - BARLYE, BARLEY, BARLIE, BARLEE or even BAILEY - I have come across an entry for the baptism at St Clement's Church in Hastings of John s/o Thomas BARLYE of Cliffe House on 22 Dec 1566. I've checked the Archives back to and including September, but can't find it. Maybe I'm dreaming! Can anyone tell me about The Cliffe House in Hastings please? Maybe it has long since gone Many thanks Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia

Hello Honor, and welcome back... I can't help with dedicated FH software for the Mac, but I use Microsoft Office (Mac version - I had to buy it - hunt around and you can get it relatively inexpensively) and I keep documents and books on Word, and data on Excel, both of which are easily exchangeable with non-Mac users (poor things :-)) and Microsoft users alike. I can send you an example of a family tree on Excel, if you'd like.

Hello - I've just re-joined the SFHG and this list after a gap/shameful lapse of a few years, so greetings to any old friends reading this who may have helped me in the past. I'm trying to pick up the threads of my family history again - but I've meanwhile changed computer from a Microsoft PC to an Apple Mac and lo and behold, my old family history software doesn't work on the Mac. (Thank goodness for good old index cards!) I was using Family Historian but it isn't available for Mac users, it seems. I must admit I never made full use of the full bells and whistles facilities of Family Historian so maybe a simpler program would suit me better. On the other hand, I would like to make a book and/or CD of my research - I know some FH programs include facilities for this: how useful are they or is it better just to do it from scratch? I'd welcome any comments or recommendations for FH software that is compatible with an Apple Mac, please, with or without the book facility. Many thanks, Honor (in Fife)

Hello Honor, Welcome to the world of Macs. They are great but there is only one advanced FH programme which will work and that is "Reunion". It is very good and the version 9 has several improvements I am told. There is only an electronic manual but the designers of the software will answer any questions by email very promptly. You can look at a trial version by going to www.leisterpro.com/doc/lp/contactus.php Be warned that you will find that some other FH sources will not run on a Mac.

I have from 1881 census William Carter born 1850 Hirtham, Sussex, Gardener Nurseryman living 34 Napier Road Portsea Hampshire. I am looking for William Carter born 1850 Horsham to Charles and Sarah Carter Holbrook Rd. Sussex, who may be the William above?? I have Charles and Sarah in all census except 1861 which seem to have Disappeared and not available. Would anyone have connection or knowledge of William Carter Br. 1850 Horsham son of Charles Carter born Nuthurst 1822 married in 1845 at Nuthurst to Sarah Peters. Heather 9634

Tony & Everyone: Fellow list member, Mel Baldwin, suggested I look in the area of Butler's Warf in London for a museum. I found the name of the museum: Bramah Tea & Coffee Museum at 40 Southwark Street, London. There are a variety of website addresses for the museum listed on the internet. Kept getting error messages when I tried to access them. Is there a mystery brewing? Sorry, British heritage forced that pun out of me.

Many thanks to those who tried to help with my query about Aldingbourne House. Having looked at the website Donna suggested and going by the fact that my grandmother died of cancer, I can only assume it was used on the lines of a hospice at that time.

FYI: Many of you may already be aware of this but a recent list message reminded me. Many, many of the beautiful houses and manors of England and Scotland serve today as Hospices. Sue Ryder Homes for instance are almost always in an old manor purchased for the purpose of being a hospice. As an oncology nurse I have seen many of them and what a lovely environment they provide. Most all have been kept in their original form with their original charm having had only the necessary changes made. Donna Michigan, USA If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday.
