Teresa, I suggest you contact Support. I don't know much about Spellcheck as I don't use it very much. However, "son" is certainly recognised by my copy. I checked the user added Dictionary and I seem to have only added Surnames and Place Names to it. Cathy Teresa Williams wrote: I ran

I ran the spellchecker over a story for the first time lat night. It didn't recognise lots of words which I'd have thought were common - including the word 'son'. Genealogy without the word 'son' would be challenging. Of the 150-ish words in the story it didn't recognise about 90. Is it

I agree with most of your comments suzy. I've never been involved with ancestry and have been with my heritage for around 3 years now. If not for the records they have from all of us our family trees would barely exist, however we ALL feed my heritage, ancestry etc the info and their annual

IMHO, I think many people, including me, are more than a bit concerned about Legacy Family Tree (Millennia) hooking up with an organization that functions the way MH does with their customer base. They certainly do NOT measure up to Legacy in that regard. I'm worried that Legacy may eventually be

You can move your entire Documents file to another drive so long as you use the right method. I only have one physical hard drive but it is partitioned into 2. The Windows standard location for Document, Pictures, Downloads, etc are in C:\Users\

This is not really a subject for this group because moving programs and data to another Drive is a general windows question not related to using Legacy. In order to answer your question you will need specify which version of Windows you are using. I can tell you that in windows 10 you do it

I find it interesting that the majority of complaints are directed towards MyHeritage and not Ancestry, FindMyPast etc. who all use the same business practices and who also share information we provide to them (i.e. our own family trees). Well I for one WANT them to share my information -

I may sound a little unreasonable because if not for my heritage etc, doing a family tree would be much more difficult, however it really annoys me that we, the members are actually providing the info which allows them to continue running their business and for that they charge us very high fees!

Actually, you should assume that the minute they ask for a card its not free, A company with a good product does not need to ask for a method of payment for a trial. Like Legacy, Great product, You try it, You like it , You buy it. Ian On Fri, Feb 16, 2018 at 11:52 AM, John Cardinal

Pauline, Your post indicates that MyHeritage uses subtle techniques to try and part you from your money when you aren't really interested in the product they are pushing. Those techniques are often called "dark patterns". Free services that convert into paid subscriptions are a common

I'm wondering how did My Heritage get your credit card info to begin with.  Did  you have a subscription at some point?  I'm hoping 23andMe or WorldVitalRecords didn't give it to them. I don't like their interface either, but what I've done is create a gedcom from Legacy and uploaded that to

I think My Heritage and Ancestry are similar in that they automatically direct debit your account each year, without notifying first. I understand it's all in the 'fine' print. I had a huge disagreement with them last year after they direct debited my account and I told them they were unscrupulous
