In order to provide hints from a site there must be something called an
Application Programming Interface (API). This is a set of rules and
programs provided by the site to allow other programs access. Even if a
site has an API they may not be willing to allow the Legacy program access.
There were some discussions among the Beta testers and programmers
during testing of Legacy 9 about adding other common sites but most
could not be added either because there is no API or the host would not
license Legacy to use their site's API.
The Legacy programmers were supportive of adding other hint sources but
cannot do so without permission. I cannot answer your question about the
specific sites you mention. Some of the sites you mention are included
in the list of places you can manually search using Internet > Search
Internet.

Hi
I did upgrade to Legacy 9 and am trying out the Hints. Will other
places such as Ancestry.com, Newspapers.com or Fold3 be added? If so,
do you know when?
Thank you!
