While this thread is about Hints, I have a slightly different, but relevant observation.
My family has been in the US since 1880. My research extends into Ireland, where I have conducted extensive onsite research However, when I attempt use a source (SourceWriter), there are no templates for major sites in Ireland. Discussions with Legacy resulted in the statement “SourceWriter templates are mostly geared for US sources”. I have requested that Legacy add the source templates for Ireland. They have taken the request and placed it into the program bucket with a suggested “High” priority. Without Legacy supporting the major archives, we must “Hack” out way into recording data properly. My experience with this thread, suggests that Legacy may have a major issue in supporting “foreign”/(non US) sites and data.

While I am American, as nearly all Americans are immigrants at some point I also would like to see "foreign" searches as eventually I need German, Swiss, and French records as well as Irish and others. Hope that is not the case and just taking awhile to get to searching the "foreign" sites.

It's not finding anything that I haven't already entered (except see point 2 below). I can't be that good that I've found everything there is to find. :) I use mainly FindMyPast. 2. It IS finding all sorts of spurious hints from the USA even though all my entries are UK based. 3. If I "Reject" Hints (e.g. the US ones) the little orange hint icon quantity doesn't change and next time I run the hints all the Rejects have reappeared. Any ideas?
