This discussion has strayed from the use of Legacy Family Tree and its add-on programs.

Lightfoot [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, August 27, 2010 12:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] one world tree on ancestry You should make a suggestion that Millennia revise the Legacy program to remove the Research Guidance tab, along with all references to lineage linked database sources which include "WorldConnect" (RootsWeb), Ancestry World Tree (Ancestry.com), Kindred Konnections (MyTrees.com), Ancestral File (FamilySearch.com), and several others that are all found on those tabs within the Legacy program. You might want to also suggest that any discussions or mentions of any of the 3rd party software programs that Millennia markets in conjunction with their Legacy program or assists in the development of other program to read and interpret the Legacy family file, should be banned if they are not a true "add-on" program for Legacy. These would include, the new Families app for the iPhone and other iDevices, and many more listed on the Legacy web site. OK, let's stop and take a deep breath. (Sarcasm is now turned off.) :-) I only wrote those suggestions above to show that the Legacy program itself already includes those areas which you think are "off topic". Actually I myself thought that the recent threads of messages pertaining to the iPhone app "Families" was starting to cross the line of being off topic. But let's remember, Millennia worked in conjunction with the developers of the Families app and this Legacy forum is their sandbox. I've learn to tolerate occasional short threads on topics that are only vaguely related to Legacy and not just to the internal use of Legacy. On a more serious note, "related to the use of Legacy" should mean more than JUST how do I do something in the Legacy program, "click this button, select this item", etc. Those answers are usually found in the HELP file or the tutorial training videos. Additional questions or discussions about how to use your Legacy data to interface with the rest of the world to either share your data or to accomplish additional research are the heart of any genealogical program. After all, Legacy like all other genealogy programs is really a research tool and a generator of structured information. That's why you see Report generating capabilities and Web page creation from within the program. And that's why you see things like the Research Guidance tab in Legacy. A lot of work has gone into this tab (probably more than the database portion of the program). Anyone that has not yet bothered to visit this tab, should try it. You'll be amazed at how complicated it is.
