Geditcom Ii Review
This refers to GeditCom II. I moved from Windows to a Mac two years ago and transferred my data from The Master Genealogist to Reunion via GEDCOM. A disaster. Whose fault? Who knows? TMG used GEDCOM less than ideally. Reunion ditto.
It took months to sort out the issues. I’ve tried MacFamilyTree, Family Tree Maker, Heredis, iFamily. None preserved my data well.
So over to GeditCom II. It took quite a while to correct all the issues introduced by the other programmes, but now my data is as secure as can be because GeditCom understands GEDCOM like no other software. I can’t tell people just what a blessing John Nairn’s application is. It’s terrific. The help file is comprehensive. I haven’t yet found something that I want to do, but GeditCom II can’t.
It’s also heavily customisable. Not that i’ve really played with that yet.
I’ll never suffer data loss casued by my software again - unless of course, I move to some other programme that claims to be GEDCOM-compatible but isn’t. Never happen!
Geditcom Ii For Mac
Biggest Pro: Data security, customisation, and ease of use.
Biggest Con: Doesn’t work on Windows. Is that a Con? Not in my house.
