Hi Mike,

Linda Greethurst mentioned my name in an earlier comment to your original
post. You can create a website within Legacy as Gene Young stated.

The five web pages’ styles:

Ancestor:  http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Webs/ancestor/index.htm

Descendant: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Webs/descendant/index.htm

Pedigree: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Webs/pedigree/index.htm

Family: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Webs/family/index.htm

Individual: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Webs/individual/index.htm


If you need help with that, let me know and I'll be happy to assist or
point you in the right direction. I have a handout I created for our user
group I would be happy to share with anyone interested. This "website" does
not have to be posted online but could be handed out on some sort of media
(CDs or flash drives) to family members. Keep in mind that newer laptops
and tablets do not have CD drives and/or input for a flash drive.

John Cardinal's GedSite has also been mentioned and I am a big supporter of
this program. I feel I can have a more customizable site that looks nicer.
Just my humble opinion. My site created using GedSite can be found at
http://loghryledger.site/up/index.htm.

Ad for
Philip's suggestion of creating a PowerPoint I have no experience or
opinion on. Sounds like a lot of extra work on your part.

One thing to consider with a website is the ability to quickly update it
with new information, i.e., you finally proved who your great-grandfather's
parents were. If you provide family members a CD, they will have to wait
until the next family reunion where you hand out new CDs or until you burn
CDs and pay to mail them to everyone. Are you getting the idea of the
benefits of posting your data online? John Cardinal even mentioned a
private web site.

One thing to keep in mind though, is I STRONGLY encourage you not to
include information on any living individuals.

You can get free website by uploading GED to tribalpages.com.   They offer 
option to get CDs of the web site.   Web site is free,  need to payfor CDs.

I am new to the forum and would be grateful for advice on suitable software to 
make a DVD for my children now that Passage Express is not available. Thanks,

Another possibility is to create a PowerPoint presentation... depending on
how much you have, as it can take quite a bit of time entering info as
gedcom or other is not a import option... advantage? More creativity
allowable. For dry data, a spreadsheet is use able such as excel... or
database such as access...  point is, while I do not know what you have
available, be creative with what you have... Google has apps that can do,
free with chrome..  could also make a dvd, or jump drive for larger
files... with a read me instruction page... have them download the free
legacy and see that... and they can buy the program if want to see premium
stuff... could still explore the datafile and media files for pics and
videos as well as socuments...

Mike,

My GedSite program will make a web site from a GEDCOM exported from Legacy. The 
site does not have to be published on the web; you can copy the files to a DVD 
or other portable media to share with relatives.

http://www.gedsite.com

DVD instructions are here:

http://www.gedsite.com/en/publish-removable.htm

Some details about using Legacy GEDCOM files with GedSite are here:

http://www.gedsite.com/en/legacy.htm

Another way to share with family is to create a private website. That incurs a 
hosting fee, but it provides some benefits:

1 - You do not have to create DVDs and distribute them.

2 - Family members whose devices do not have a DVD can still view the site.

3 - You can update the site and thus update what everyone sees without 
re-distributing a DVD. 

You may want to do both: publish a private site and distribute DVDs and/or USB 
drives. The more ways you publish the project, the more likely it is that it 
will be available in the future when someone wants to review it.

If you have any questions, let me know.

John
