Hi MJ, I run the Families app on an iPad 2 and enjoy using it very much. I served as a beta for the app on iPhone and iPad and can vouch for the intelligent and responsive attitude of TelGen. The Families will allow you to work on your family tree on the iPad, or on an Android-based tablet. Data from your Legacy database is synced to the tablet and if changes are made to the database on that tablet they may be synced back to Legacy your computer. Photos may be displayed on the iPad and you can search on surnames or given names, RINs and by location. Display modes include individual, family, pedigree, descendant and timeline. There is a photo gallery and photos may be displayed as thumbnails or full-screen. You may also view and edit your data, including events and sources. Relationship may also be viewed.
Of course if you have access to Ancestry you can sign on to their website with the browser on the iPad and search there with the iPad.
