Hi Cheri It appears legacyfamilytree.com not compatible with apple. So have you had any experience with www.branchesgenealogy.com? I am considering this, but would rootsmagic.com be a better option? I am researching from Australia as my Azorean ancestor ended up here via a couple of Pacific Ocean shipwrecks. Really enjoying the group. Thanks for all the great information. Pam (Flores/Corvo)
