See no reason why that can’t be accomplished as two of the other top Programs, Ancestral Quest and RootsMagic do the same. It also does not allow sources coming over from FamilySearch to be attached/tagged to events other than Birth, Christening, Death, Burial, Name. As widely as FamilySearch is used and how much, we genealogists, value sources–which we find a lot of from the billions of records on FamilySearch, we still cannot, after years of complaints, successfully synch FamilySearch sources without losing the Source Title coming over from FamilySearch. Would love to give Legacy a 5 as have used it off and on for years and like how it organizes events, has extra research features, BUT it’s communication with FamilySearch sources is severely retarded.
#LEGACY FAMILY TREE PROGRAM SOFTWARE#
My feeling is that Legacy has become very run-down MyHeritage bought it but haven’t increased its resources to the level that gives some certainty that the software will be around in 5 years.īiggest Pro: Makes it almost compulsory to be rigorous about the way data is handled and sourced.īiggest Con: Seemingly near the end of its life. Two weeks is a ridiculous length of time, and even announcements have dried up.
I can vividly recall being audited and told that my recovery plan for a 23-server mixed OS network was inadequate because it might take 4 days for the first functionality to be available. But after TWO WEEKS it still isn’t fixed, and so lots of things don’t work right now. If they aren’t fixed it’s because there are too few staff, or the staff don’t try. Maintenance releases have come fewer, and much smaller - and yet there are bugs reported from years ago that are relatively minor and easily fixed. It’s probably a few days work for a decent programmer. No attempt has been made to introduce Unicode support. Legacy links directly to popular genealogy sites like FamilySearch. The best genealogy software provides tools for research, charting and organizing your family tree. Mapping needed to be changed because of the way the map provider - Bing - changed. Legacy Family Tree 8.0 is a solid genealogy program that helps you organize your research and even find new sources to fill in gaps in your family tree.
I have abandoned Legacy because this is not the only indication that the developers are either losing interest or totally overwhelmed. It has no unicode support - which is a big problem if any of your ancestors are eastern european, for example. It also has the worst user interface of any program I have used this century. Many reviews below indicate that Legacy Family Tree is powerful, fosters good practice, has excellent reports and charts. Legacy Family Tree Review by Paul Nichols,
