Hi all, I have quite an extensive family tree which i've got on this site, and also lots of other information in the form of census print outs and emails from distant family members. At the moment I'm using Geditcom on a mac (switched from family tree maker on a pc, as I'm a mac user). Unfortunately, a lot of older family members don't use the internet, so I can;t share my tree with them. i want a way to print out all this information from my tree, but not sure what the best way to do it is. Don't have a lot of spare time, and I've already spent hours putting all this information into Family Tree maker. Does anyone have any ideas? I've thought about switching to Reunion for my mac. Does anyone know if there's anything in this program that allows you to print information out? Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers Stewart |

The only way I know of to share your tree is to print it using the print command on the tree. The last time I printed mine it took 12 A4 sheets and it's grown. |

If you have it on FTM can't you print it from there? |

I use Reunion for Mac. You can easily print out a tree - it will be on several (or lots) of sheets if it's a big tree and you'll have to stick them together. They look v.g. as each generation is printed in a different colour which make it easy and interesting to read. |

There's a list here of family tree programs which work with a Mac: |
