I have been productively using The Master Genealogist (TMG) for some years but I am now considering moving to a new genealogy database; the 2 contenders seem to be ROOTSMAGIC and LEGACY FAMILY TREE.
It would be nice to hear if anyone else has moved, and what FEATURES THEY KNOW TMG HAS THAT ARE MISSING in Legacy. As well as the "usual" the main features I am looking for are: [] Left to Right tree chart with flexible content/persons choice/exclude and formatting. [] Reports with flexible content/persons choice/exclude and formatting with easy manipulating with say Word Macros. [] Global database edits (similar to the TMG "addon" TMG Utility) [] A database that is easy to enquire/manipulate with SQL or similar with help of an active user group etc. [] A database that is not past its sell by date (TMG uses FoxPro, and as ever with TMG, no time indication of a fix/replacement).
