find it - decades from now.
What options are there?
1. Give them a printed report of the family history. Effective but instantly

Hi Jim,
You asked two questions, one about research and one about storing the
information you find.
My question is once you put your data on ancestry, do you do your

There has been a firestorm in many forums about this as it is nothing more
than blatant advertising. When you click on the Hint you are taken to a
page that gives very little information about the particular hint and

Legacy is my main place for entering all updates or corrections to my
database. However, I then upload a copy of my family tree via

I do look at Ancestry, but no way do I take their word or information
as guaranteed gospel. If I find Ancestry says my ancestor John Doe
was born Jan 18, 1718, I do enter it in Legacy, but before I am sure
