Re: [LegacyUG] Passage Express Replacement
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.

Re: [LegacyUG] Passage Express Replacement
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.

Re: [LegacyUG] Passage Express Replacement
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...

Re: [LegacyUG] Passage Express Replacement
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.
