I getting the sense that new family search is more or less just a re-branding of the old FS, with the majority of the data being the same and/or expanded extracted data with pointers to films or other sources. I'd like to know what Legacy is doing with this information. Does it pull in the extracts into your database, then create TODO's to look up the originals. Or, like Ancestry, it just sources something generic like "from one or more member trees'? > 2- the 'member trees' are what is in NFS, however... Ah ha! That's the bit I've been missing. The big deal to Legacy must be the ability to post and sync these member trees with NFS. I can see value in being able to keep a Legacy database in sync with an online version too. Mike Fry expressed some concern over control with data pushed to NFS, meaning these member trees??? Are these concern beyond the same old, same old concerns like Ancestry and others selling your hard work, or is it more like you don't have control over how much or how little you decide to share?
