I think everyone needs to keep in mind what terrific service Legacy/MyHeritage offer their users - whether through mail list or Facebook Group, through video tutorials online at Legacy Webinars or through the Help section found in the Legacy software. And if you don't want to "keep up" with Legacy on Facebook, but only use it as needed for your issues - simply use the search feature, I find it very handy. For a very reasonable cost of the software, Legacy offers so many ways of assisting their customers at no cost to us - just a little time as we learn how best to use our software. Thanks for all you and others do with Facebook, blog posts, and cross posting to the Mail Group.
