Gail, Yes, I have *Map My Family Tree* and really enjoy it. I'm still learning about it, but our relationship with Progeny is good, and we're confident that they will continue to listen to our feedback.
Thanks, Geoff Rasmussen Millennia Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.LegacyFamilyTree.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gail Rich Nestor Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 9:29 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Family Atlas Genealogy Mapping Hi Geoff, so does that mean Legacy supports *Map my Family Tree* by Progeny over *Family Atlas* by RootsMagic? It looks like both companies also sell products that rival Legacy. Geoff, have you already tried out Map my Family tree? If so, do you like it? Do you feel there is good support and that the product will grow to incorporate user suggestions like Legacy does? Thanks for your comments on this. I'm still investigating...
