Legacy is not part of the Mormon Church. All the genealogy software programs are working with the LDS Church to have their programs sync with family tree. It's not going to be possible to find one that isn't working to sync with this. You see some people have vision and can see the true possibilities with this. In release 2.0 the focus will be "Finding my Ancestors through Records". That means all those records the LDS Church has been filming for decades will be digitized and online. Family Tree will be the means to finding and searching those records. We are talking billion of records here all free to search. You don't have to be LDS to appreciate that.
Family Tree won't replace your genealogy software program it will only sync with it. With Family Tree being open sourced that means many new programs will be developed to interface with this. We can't even dream of all the possibilities. I hear people complaining about how bloated Legacy is with all the new features. Why do we have Research Guidance you say? With 2.0 release of Family Tree why would Legacy need Research Guidance or the IGI Search features anymore. Right now some people need those but in the future what else can Legacy focus on. The transition period is what's throwing some developers right now. Be patient with them - great things are in store for us. I've said my peace now I'm sorry if some of you don't get it. Some didn't appreciate the need for Personal Computers in the beginning either. Thank you to those that have emailed your thanks and kind words to me off-line. When I learn more things coming up I won't share it with this group. Those interested in keeping informed will have to read my blog.
