Ditto reading this thread
Starting in 1970 with my family tree, I too, did the typewriter bit
.Still have the letters somewhere After getting Internet I found several of
the persons that I had written to or received letters and data from. My
first program was PAF then FTM then FO to RM but my genealogy did not really
breathe until LEGACY. As I mentioned before a 1998 massive stroke left me
with one hand to type with and cable and LEGACY breathed life into my files
of over 79,000 plus I recently connected my husband and I through 3
different lines, are we related yet? This I know I could never have done
without LEGACY and cable
Just my humble opinion
Love, Light, Rainbows & Blessings
