Welcome, Wendy! We are always happy to help a newbie! And I know you will grow to love the Legacy application.
I just wanted to comment on Research Guidance: I've used Legacy for years, but just this year started using Research Guidance. It's more a tool to help you find out where to look for more information on an ancestor, rather than a tool for recording the evidence you have found into your database (citing sources, etc.). I hope that made sense! So, I'm not sure that's where you would "start" to use Legacy, especially if you are confining your search to Ancestry right now. Work with the information you have to learn the various ways to enter data into Legacy, then strike out in other directions in your search for more information. --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sanford Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams ________________________________ From: Pam Gosling <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 2, 2013 11:02 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] beginning legacy user Hello Deanna, Welcome! <snip> Also, the tab at the top that has the 4 sections “research guidance” is another place to start. <snip> Pam From:Deanna Weymuth [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2013 2:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] beginning legacy user Hello, I am just a for fun genealogist, who has been working on tracing various family trees for my own information and enjoyment. I want a simple accurate as much as can be family history/tree. Legacy site is great because it asks different questions than Ancestry, more in depth, but if I find something I have to copy and paste to get it to legacy. Shows information off well, but asks documentation very involved. Ancestry is easier to navigate, I have never tried to get on a users group. It is easy to save information. I wory that it does not ask the involved questions Legacy does. I get frustrated reading this group as I don't understand 50% of what you are talking about. You have a tendency to discuss a subject to death. Is there a beginner Legacy User Group, for those of us not so involved in genealogy.
