Because your email address is subscribed to the Legacy User Group 
mailing list. Any email sent to the group is relayed to all members.


Every email has instructions at the bottom on how to remove your email 
from the list and only YOU can unsubscribe.


Here is the line with the instructions.

Go to the link and scroll down until you see the line giving you 
instructions to enter your email email address to unsubscribe. Click the 
button labelled unsubscribe or edit options.


You will receive an email from the list which will ask you to confirm. 
Follow the instructions in the email or you will not be removed.

wouldn't surprise me at all if Legacy Family Tree goes by the wayside
now that they are owned by MyHeritage. MyHeritage has their own
genealogy software program, Family Tree Builder, that synchronizes
directly with trees on MyHeritage (if you have one).  
 Daniel Horowitz has been actively demoing Family Tree Builder the
past several weeks through his Ask the Expert 30-minute webinars on
Tuesdays and Thursdays. Family Tree Builder has some of the features
found in Legacy Family Tree, but nowhere near all the bells and
whistles. legacy is far superior. 
 This past February at RootsTech I asked Daniel when MyHeritage would
enable the Legacy Family Tree program to synchronize with trees on
MyHeritage. His answer was, "Not this year."  Very disappointing. I
get tired of having to maintain trees on multiple websites, or
periodically export new GEDCOM files to them, which restarts record
matching all over. 
 My impression is that MyHeritage is focusing their efforts on DNA
tools, as that seems to be where the money is these days. I don't
think the big companies are interested in investing time in
computer-based software (as evidenced by Ancestry abandoning Family
Tree Maker a few years ago). They all want us to build our trees on
their websites, which really makes us a commodity that they use to
leverage their business model. Our trees help them bring in more
customers for DNA and matching. 
 Just my opinion. I hope I'm wrong, but as a retired software
engineer, I'm doubtful. Everything is moving away from personal
computers and into the cloud.

Hello…Does anyone know if there are any plans for a major upgrade
to Legacy Family Tree (i.e. v10)?   It has been over three years
since the release of v9.  If I recall correctly, v10 was on the verge
of being release a couple of years ago.   Is it my imagination, but
ever since Legacy Family Tree was acquired by MyHeritage the updates /
enhancements have seemed to come at a snail pace.   I really do like
Legacy Family Tree and have recommended to many of my friends and
relatives.   I really liked the frequent free fixes / enhancements
and looked forward to them and was one of the first to pay for an
upgrade.   The initial cost and upgrades were always reasonably.  
I am just afraid that Legacy is not part of the long-term direction or
focus for MyHeritage.   I just hope this is not the case since I
don’t want to see Legacy fall to the side of the road like many
other genealogy programs.

I know the programmers are actively working on Version 10 but the 

company never says when a new version or even an update to the
existing 

version will be issued.

 

If you go to this page you will see what updates to Version 9 have
been 

issued and the bug fixes and/or features included in each one.

I do not know why you would think that Legacy is being given any less

the revision history will reassure you.

Re: [LegacyUG] New Version of Legacy Family Tree?

[JERALDINE M SOCHA]

 I, too, am not impressed with MyHeritage.  It's like they want all my 
information and then I have to PAY to have access.  And then my information is 
available to all that subscribe.  Sometimes, I have info that I DONT want to 
share.  It's a shame when there is something good going on (Legacy) and someone 
acquires it and messes everything up.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Legacy Family Tree goes by the wayside now 
that they are owned by MyHeritage. MyHeritage has their own genealogy software

MyHeritage (if you have one).

My impression is that MyHeritage is focusing their efforts on DNA tools, as

Re: [LegacyUG] New Version of Legacy Family Tree?

[Brian Kelly]

I know the programmers are actively working on Version 10 but the 
company never says when a new version or even an update to the existing 
version will be issued.


If you go to this page you will see what updates to Version 9 have been 
issued and the bug fixes and/or features included in each one.

https://legacyfamilytree.com/RevisionHistory9.asp

I do not know why you would think that Legacy is being given any less 
emphasis now than before the merger with MyHeritage. Perhaps looking at 
the revision history will reassure you.

Re: [LegacyUG] New Version of Legacy Family Tree?

[Cathy Pinner]

Please do not get into a negative discussion of the short comings or 
imagined evils of MyHeritage.


It is not at all unusual for there to be years between releases of new 
versions of Legacy. It was Legacy 9 that was released in April 2017 and 
there has been no suggestion that Legacy 10 was going to follow on quickly.


You can expect an update to Legacy 9 before long. The latest public 
version is build 339. The current beta version is build 350 so the 
programmers and beta testers haven't been idle.

These "big" players (ancestry, MyHeritage, et al.,) have been acquiring 
excellent programs and decimating them. Thus went Genealogy.com, MyFamily, and 
many more I once used. Sad.
