[Donna Newell]

I believe we should take a "wait and see" attitude.  Not everything is all bad 
or all good.  I feel they deserve a fair shake and time to make it work. 
Negativity only breeds more negativity.   Are you a "glass half full or a glass 
half empty" person.  Life is short, I choose to look at the glass as half full.

Hi

I did try to follow this following Geoff Webinar a while ago, but it wasn’t to

Maybe we can persuade Michelle to do a step by step tip of the day 😉

MyHeritage allows you to refuse permission for anyone to view or even find your 
tree unless you have made them a member of your site. You can also deny members 
the ability to make changes - they must send you the information or post it in 
the Family News section whence it is automatically emailed to you.

Hi Dennis,

Very well said – you’ve pretty well covered my concerns over this acquisition.  
I don’t hear many voices saying this is a good thing!



I quit using FTM as it could no longer handle the size of my file (no longer a 
problem). They also changed their format. I much like the way Legacy approaches 
the input of data.



The bad reviews on MyHeritage seem to vastly outnumber the (genuine) good 
reviews. I, too, may be looking for another program.

do not used the search features; I just want good software that lets me 
document names and personal data, events, and sources in an efficient manner, 
and then lets me print useful and well-formatted reports.  I also use it to 
create webpages for my own family history website.  I don’t upload family trees 
to sites like Ancestry and MyHeritage or Genii.  I want a website that shows 
complete source documentation and event notes that are as long as I want.   The 
thing I would like Legacy is to allow drag and drop on the webpages instead of 
just source code.  I have tried TNG more than once, including having them set 
it up, etc., and then paying someone to help a bit, but I just can’t master it. 
 Legacy webpages are easy for the reader to maneuver, and I like that 
uncluttered aspect.

Through the years I have tried most of the other genealogy software, but Legacy 
has fit my needs better than any.   I do genealogy research on a client basis 
also, and I use Legacy if the project is large enough to merit it.  It creates 
footnotes for me to paste into the narrative report I write for the client, as 
well as printing reports when needed and creating a simple family tree for the 
client, if the project is large enough.  I create a family file and point them 
to the Legacy free download so they can see literally all my research.

I am hoping for the best.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Merger. Like Donna, i tried my heritage some years age, I found someone had copied large chunks of my family tree, so Iimmediately

[Shane Abdelnour]

I immediately cancelled everything and continued using Legacy. I have used
Legacy .ever since. I refused to upgrade to version 9 ..now  I will stick
to what i know.
