Good angle! It will probably work out well for your Father!

There aren't a whole lot of genealogy programs for the Macintosh. I use
a nice one called "Reunion." It costs about $115 from MacConnection,
plus $3 shipping. It is Hypercard based and comes with a charting
utility. I've only had it for about a month. I successfully imported
my Father-in-Law's database from a Gedcom file he created on his
pc-compatible. Gedcom is a file exchange standard for genealogical
data.  The file had records on about 1000 people. It took a long time
to import (the manual said to plan on doing something else while it
was processing the file). I have also perused the data in the file,
searched for names and relationships, and created reports and charts.

If you call the publisher, Leister Productions, at 717-697-1378, they
will send you a brochure and sample printouts. The printouts will
impress your Mother because they really make use of the laserwriter
(you can scale the output to the page, and it puts nice boxes around
the names).
