This is the first British book describing the various ways of using an Apple Macintosh computer for genealogy. It describes ways of using the integrated packages which are supplied as standard on most Macintosh computers, and also describes the shareware and commercial genealogy packages available, with comparisons and recommendations. There is practical information on transferring IGI data from CD-ROM into Macintosh format.
When David Tippey started recording his family history, he was already using an Apple Macintosh computer to help with other activities. It was natural to use the Macintosh on the new activity of genealogy, but there was little published to help him find and choose suitable programs. He tried a variety of methods, like the use of word processing, spreadsheets. drawing packages, and general purpose databases. He also tried most of the genealogy packages available for the Macintosh. This book describes his experience of the methods and packages, with detailed descriptions and examples from the packages he considered the most useful. He has written articles on using a Macintosh for genealogy in Family Tree Magazine and in Computers in Genealogy. He is computer editor of Family History Monthly, and has written many articles in that magazine.
