GENERATIONS ( Reunion)

This was and may still be available from various suppliers within the UK

This programme started life as Reunion from Leister Productions it was then sold to Sierra who renamed it Generations, in recent years a UK version of the programme has been produced however Sierra have now sold out to the owners of Family Tree Maker in late 2002 Following the purchase of Family Tree Maker this programme appears to have disappeared from the internet and appears no longer available. Having said that version 8.5 was launched in March 2003 but does appear to offer any great advances it is possible that the new owners will leave this as a budget price programme. In early 2003 ownership of this and Family Tree Maker passed to MyFamily.com,inc however it now appears under the label of Broderbund a division of Riverdeep as is Family Tree Maker although this is now their budget programme. It continues to have many UK supporters. If you have windows XP you need version 8.5 to make the programme work

Reunion continues to be available for the MAC only details at http://www.leisterpro.com/
