Re: [LegacyUG] Concerns about MyHeritage

Hi John I think you have hit the nail on the head with everything you have described. I emailed my concerns to the group on 8 July regarding My Heritage taking control of information that I had entered into Legacy. I am very disappointed that My Heritage has now taken over Legacy. I have

Re: [LegacyUG] Concerns about MyHeritage

As I understand it, Legacy will continue to be its own program just as it always has been. To share your data with MyHeritage, FamilySearch, Ancestry or any other commercial online tree - including DNA trees- has ALWAYS been your choice. If you choose to put your data online, you are responsible

If you sync with MyHeritage and leave the setting to public, then you tree would be visible. If you sync with MyHeritage, but set your tree to private (as is my tree) than no one will be able to see your data. If you do not sync your tree to MyHeritage, no tree will be uploaded. All

Re: [LegacyUG] Fw: Concerns about MyHeritage

I realise that Legacy is currently a stand-alone program but I cannot see how it can last in its current form. First, technology and users expectations rapidly change and increase, while it my understanding is that Legacy is built on outdated technology which is why it cannot handle Unicode.

[LegacyUG] Concerns about MyHeritage

I tried MyHeritage with the basic subscription and don’t trust it for various reasons. It defaulted to automatic renewals every year and I don’t remember any other options. It was extremely difficult to find out how to enter an end date for the subscription because it was buried so deeply. From

Re: [LegacyUG] Concerns about MyHeritage

Their TreeBuilder syncs with their website. I do not use it, so know only that. Complete privacy on the website occurs ONLY if you set those options on your website tree. If you have more than one tree loaded on your website, you must set the privacy settings for each. Some people don't mind

I think that default positions should always be for maximum privacy- not the other way around. Hi CE, I agree that other people’s websites are not sources but thought they may cite sources which could be checked by me. I’m glad scholars are checking primary sources. I saw on a documentary how

There is a lot of bad information and speculation floating about. Legacy was last week and is this week a desktop programme. There is no automatic sync of your data anywhere. For those using the Legacy Cloud backup, only you have access to it, only you have the password. The merger means

Your Legacy files are protected by not uploading them to the web! Millenium don’t have your data, neither do Ancestry, Findmypast, Family Search, or MyHeritage UNLESS you have given it to them! If you decide to upload your data, learn how to protect it FIRST not AFTER you’ve uploaded it!
