I believe that you can but you should ask them at familysearch!.org!. They are fairly good at answering questions about their genealogy stuff!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hi,
familysearch!.org gives the advice that you can use one PAF file on a Mac!. That is Personal Ancestral File 2!.3!.1!.

I will be looking to change from FTM myself shortly, but I will continue to run Brother's Keeper, which is my main genealogy software, as it suits me!. However, I also use FTM and will create a GED file from that and run Mac Family Tree!. I have given it a trial run and am very happy with that!. You can read about it here!.!.!.

There is NOT a Macintosh version of Brother's Keeper!. However, if you have a new Mac that can run Windows programs, then it will run in Windows mode!.
