Wow! Seriously? I've only been on this list a few days, but it sure seems to have a very hostile tone. I really don't get why I'm getting my hands smacked for this query. What specifically are you reading that suggests any questions simply about the pros and cons of Ancestry? Unless you are stating that a discussion of the pros and cons of using Ancestry in cooperation with Legacy is also *way* off topic?
This is the LUG, correct? I am in fact a LU, and a new one at that, only a couple of weeks. Would you agree that ones genealogical database program is the heart of their system? In this case it should go w/o saying we are talking about Legacy. As a brand new paying customer of Legacy, I am curious how to get the most value out of it. Call me confused, but Legacy integration with third party products, specifically in relation to my own online presence, seems to me it couldn't be more on topic. Surly you are not suggesting that Legacy is the end-all be-all tool for genealogists and any posts to the contrary are off limits here? While I am certainly interested in your acceptable list of topic in how to incorporate into Legacy stuff found online, I am just as interested to know how best to do the opposite of that - move what I have in Legacy online somehow. Who better to answer that then the LU's? If I have completely misunderstood the use of the term 'user's group' in this case, please advise. And, if that is in fact the case, let me offer my apologies in advance to the users and customer support of this list.

(Sort of wondering if the, uh, frustration? on the other threads is only toward FTM, or Ancestry in general?) * Are there other online options that partner better with Legacy (commercial or roll your own site)? *Any tips and tricks to minimize the double entry?
