Are you curious about your Family History and want to know more, but just don't have the ability or time to do the research yourself? Would you like to discover what interesting things might have happened to your Ancestors?

How much do you know about your ancestors? Were they pioneers, entrepreneurs, immigrants looking for a better life or just for religious freedom? What challenges did they face, what was their day-to-day life like? Do you know what motivated them to come to America?

Do you look like your ancestors? What characteristics or traits have you inherited from your ancestors? And what can they teach you about yourself and about your own life patterns and choices?


These are some of the questions that encourage us to gain more knowledge about our ancestors. Are there additional questions that have motivated you to explore your family history?

If you are curious about who your ancestors are and what places and events shaped their lives, then you have come to the right place. Genealogy research can help you learn about your family's unique history, traditions, origins, and how those things led to your life.

Allow The Genealogy Assistant be your guide on a voyage into the past. The Genealogy Assistant offers a number of genealogical and historical research services that can be tailored to meet your needs to can help you in the search for your ancestors. For us the reward is in the journey, whether we are researching your ancestors or our own.

Reunion 10 Released

r10-family-imageThe long awaited release of Reunion 10 Genealogy Data management software for MAC finally was released last week. Most Reunion users love the platform, but had seen the need for some changes and upgrades and now it has finally happened.

I have been a user of Reunion for many years now and I also could see there was places for some improvements to an already great product. Yesterday I downloaded this latest version. As always the conversion of old files to the new version were quick and painless, and lets face it a file with only 14,000 people listed in it does not take very long.

My first impression was WOW this interface looks so much more user friendly. Almost everything is at your fingertips and it is much easier to maneuver around the family tree. I cn see getting a lot more data entry done in a shorter amount of time with this new interface. Of course with any new major software upgrade there is going to be some learning curve, but if you have used Reunion before I do not think it will take much adjusting.

Today we will just take a brief look at Reunion 10 and I will post discoveries in future posts.

 Basically everything you need is right here in this screen - Tools show up on your left & the list results show up in the right column which is collapsible is desired. Go to the Reunion 10 website to take a look at these new features in more detail.

One area of Reunion 10 I will be interested in exploring will be the web tools. I had been a little disappointed in this part of the program on the last version, but I am hoping that some changes have been made that will create nicer looking pages and easier ways to create a customized layout.
