Re: [LegacyUG] Comparing commercial websites

[Sherry]

I'm not a video watcher either. So many of the ones I've seen could
have been cut down. 5 min is my max and frequently I end up "skimming"
through the videos!

Heck, I have a hard time sitting through my favorite half-hour TV
shows! And forget audio books - my mind starts to wander after the
first sentence!

I'm definitely a reader!

Obviously, you have never been held for ransom, or you would never go to a site 
about which you have been warned. Many times, the site is trustworthy, but a 
hacker has stolen the link to the trusted website! McAfee picks those up too. 
It is one of the most common sources of being infected.


Anyway, I am s glad you have the patience and TIME to sit through an hour 
long video.

McAfee is well known for ‘exaggerating’ – nothing wrong with the link / site 
for the handout.



It’s well worth getting over your aversion for videos to watch this one – I 
hate videos as well but this was worth it.  Watch it on your desktop if you can 
to appreciate it fully – otherwise why not watch it at your local library – a 
much UNDER utilised resource.

Sometimes AV programs are a little overly aggressive. Avast had no problem

Re: [LegacyUG] Is MyHeritage Worth It?

[Lucy Shore]

Yep and that's more bang for the buck for Ancestry and Newspapers,com --
I'm not sure of the relationship between the two but what I noticed was
last year when renewing my Ancestry membership I was offered a 'bonus' for
a little extra fee I could subscribe to Newspapers,com. Perhaps I didn't
read the offer properly but, when searching Newspapers.com, they found the
article -- but I had to be a full member before I could access said
article. Then, when searching newspapers that I know for a fact were
previously on Ancestry were no longer there...but could be found on
newspapers.com. And so it goes... Not sure which company deserves my money
the most (or least).

If My Heritage can prove to be a little more transparent in their dealings
-- and have access to reasonable resources, it might be a good way to go
although I do find their trees very awkward.

by pointing out that lots of people already use TNG in preference to the Legacy

There are other ways to create webpages using gedcoms.

Many Legacy users already use TNG in preference to Legacy webpage
generation.
The ability to create gedcoms that transfer data very well to TNG
is rigorously tested.

There are other similar systems but I don't know of people testing

As I understand it, Lega cy software will continue to be a
standalone desktop software.

I have been with Legacy practically since its inception.
Besides using Legacy for recording research and writing
reports, I use Legacy to create my own website, which I then
upload to GoDaddy, a regular non-genealogy related web host.
This gives me complete flexibility in the creation and
ownership of my website.

Since MyHeritage pushes family trees on its own site, will
Legacy continue to give us the capability of creating a
genealogy websi te of our own with the Legacy software?

Is Legacy the only genealogy software that allows you to
create your website independently and then upload it to a
regular non-genealogy related host?

Any thoughts on this?

Donna

Hi I don't mind sharing my family info and hard work with strangers (even 
though I have funded it all too!). It would be a nice feature if there was a 
way to credit the researcher in an obvious way on the various sites that allow 
GEDcom's to be uploaded.  Uploading living info isn't good without permission 
from the living!!  

One thing I do is only upload a partial GEDcom with the first couple 
generations.  

I would like to figure out the best way, place or site to collaborate on the 
town of Myczkow Poland.  That's why I asked about GoDaddy.  Thanks!

Hah! That's how I hit upon the fact that a cousin had posted my data
on his website - a rare name in the family showed up in a search
and he posted *all* the living info. He was fine with removing it. But
the other person who had taken the info and put it on *his* website

I am strongly hesitant to share gedcoms or Family Files with others
now I don't think I'd share anything newer than my great

The only hits I get from My Heritage are from people's trees that have
copied the data from my web site or GenesReunited.

In a test for one family member, I had hints for the census, FamilySearch
Family Tree (I can get those through FS) and Geni World Family Tree, as well
as MyHeritage Family Trees for another member.
The FamilySearch Family Trees were pretty common hits.

Not getting any record hits, although the site is supposed to have actual
records.

Re: [LegacyUG] Future of Legacy Private Website Creator

I have had my website (created with the Legacy software and hosted by GoDaddy) 
for many years.  I get responses, questions, and comments literally all the 
time.  Collaboration takes place by e-mail.

I get good response on Google searches, meaning I run into my own research all 
the time.   It’s hard for me to do a search on one of my ancestors without 
running into myself.  But that means the website is visible and helpful to 
other researchers, which is my goal.I also run into my research that has 
been copied and just pasted into trees on Ancestry, etc., all the time, which 
is a frustration.  (I am talking about personal narratives, not just facts or 
straight transcriptions.)  But that is another topic. 

I have the great majority of my family research uploaded to it, so it deals not 
only with main ancestral lines, but also the lines of in-laws, etc.   I like 
the Legacy setup because it allows me to show the sources of my research, with 
the documentation appearing as footnotes that are in a classic format and are 
useful to the viewer.  It allows me to give credit to others for the

I have attempted TNG with complete installations about three times during the 
last several years.  The host I used and the software author gave great 
support, but my skills fall short.  It is a beautiful system, just not one that 
I can master.

Is Legacy the only genealogy software that allows you to

There are other ways to create webpages using gedcoms.

Many Legacy users already use TNG in preference to Legacy webpage
generation.
The ability to create gedcoms that transfer data very well to TNG
is rigorously tested.

There are other similar systems but I don't know of people testing
how the data transfers to them.

I have been with Legacy practically since its inception.
