Gramps works on Linux,       OS-X, and Windows, so it should work, but installing it on a Mac may be       a bit difficult, because it's not standard, I think. I don't have a Mac,       so I can't check, but this is what I remember from seeing it.              You mentioned My Heritage, but sharing a tree is not free over there, so       I suggest that you try Ancestry or Geneanet. On both, you can upload a       GEDCOM and invite someone else to visit and work on your tree, and you       can both do that with a free account.              Here on the European continent, I use Geneanet, because it runs in my       language, and because it shows which persons have been modified, so that       you can see which changes she made, if you allow her to.              Regards,              Enno              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
