You are right Peter. Generations evolved from Reunion many years ago and I believe they are still very similar. I have tried many other genealogy programmes over the years as a possible eventual replacement for my Generations (version 8.05a UK edition) but I have seen none to compare. I will only move away from this when it falls down around my ears even though there are one or two minor snags. I keep looking at new versions of other programmes but have yet to see anything that comes anywhere close to its presentation, ease of use and versatility. I understand that it is no longer being updated however the good news is that it is still available from twrcomputing.co.uk at in my opinion is a bargain price. Regards all.
