Hopefully the following will offer a bit of reassurance to those concerned with MyHeritage buying out Millenia and the data they have recorded in their Legacy databases. Please remember that MyHeritage is not the ONLY auto data search link offered in Legacy 9, nor is that auto search feature unique in genealogy software.
First off, Legacy also links to and searches automatically at the following genealogical data archives in Version 9: * FamilySearch * FindMyPast * MyHeritage Other genealogy software also use auto search: 1 - Family Tree Maker * Ancestry (only if tree synced between FTM to Ancestry) * FamilySearch 2 - RootsMagic * FindMyPast * MyHeritage * Ancestry (only if tree synced between RootsMagic to Ancestry) 3 - Family Historian * FindMyPast * MyHeritage That searching is described as 'Automatic Internet Data Matching". Legacy's webinars offered a presentation (still free viewing) titled - "Hands-On with Legacy Hints: Using MyHeritage Record Matches and Smart Matches" at the following link (https://familytreewebinars.com/download.php?webinar_id=635}. This webinar should offer a some reassurance. Family Historian also offered a description (written) titled "What is Automatic Internet Data Matching?" found at the following link (http://www.family-historian.co.uk/aidm). This description identifies how a FH database is searched and what happens to the information used in that search. Given the amount of misinformation and concerns appearing in the list I hope this information is helpful. Denise
