Hi Bill, I think you misunderstand what 'link' means. All that happens when you link is that you tell Legacy that your person (RIN12345) is a certain person ID (eg LX-1234) on Family Search. Nothing more. This is recorded in Legacy only.
Then, when you are in Legacy Family Search (share data tab) you have both the Legacy file open (on the left side) and the Family Search file open (on the right). If you share Legacy data with Family search, you are actually writing to Family Search just as if you were signed on to their Family Tree web app. Hope this helps......

After I decided I should learn more about it, I deleted all those links and noticed the information I added was still on the FS website along with my name as the submitter. I don't mind that, but I would think once the link is broken the information I linked to FS would disappear. I prefer to not link and just add, but I am going to wait until I learn more. The FS website doesn't give any information about consequences or what linking is all about, or the pitfalls involved.

You learn nothing about the consequences of matching, registering/contributing your tree, avoiding fostering duplicates, the detailed procedures for using it from Legacy, the rationale and pitfalls of the whole thing. Sorry to complain but these are issues. Not sure why we had lesser priority than new buyers but glad to know we are still somewhere in the queue.
