But having looked at the alternatives I came back to GEDitCOM. It does have a very old-fashioned interface, but is very configurable, sticks closely to the GEDCOM standard and is actively maintained. Having said all that, I see it's now $65, which makes it not quite such a no-brainer as it might once have been! Anyway, worth a look: https://www.geditcom.com/ -- TimH pull tooth to reply by email

OK, it's not cheap, but it will save you hours and hours of time and time is money. I have some 9900 peope in it, of which more than half are blood relations - the rest are spoused. Works fine in Tahoe; I have not yet tried ReunionTouch on my updated iPad Old John. -- God made the integers. All else is the work of man.
