Moving from pc to mac
« on: Tuesday 25 August 09 23:31 BST (UK) »
My pc is playing up, and I have bought a MacBook Pro.  I have been using 'Personal Ancestral File' (2.3 - an old edition) for many years, on which I have many many records.  I would like to start to use my Mac for my genealogy, and would appreciate recommendations of software (not costing the earth) that will enable me to download my files from the pc to the mac.  I can't face the idea of typing them all in again!

Any help and recommendations would be appreciated.

Many thanks
