Sherry,
I am well aware that the US County stuff appeared during V5. That does not
alter the fact that the program is bloated with questionable enhancements
which have been foisted upon us. Most of these enhancements should be
available as optional *plug-ins*.
I too have not yet found a program which is anywhere as good as Legacy. The
response of the development team to bugs, suggestions etc is unparalleled
but due to that fact Legacy is now suffering from trying to be all things to
all users.
Sorry for ranting.
Regards
Dave Aitchison

Dave,
The US County Verifier has been in Legacy for a long time now (it was
released during the life of Legacy v5). We have many different countries
represented in the Geo Location Database and the Research Guidance. We
currently have volunteers translating Legacy into 13 different languages -
in fact you may have noticed when you did the update that the Danish
(Dansk)
version of Legacy is now available!
You don't have to download the Geo Location Database files if you don't
wish. The US County Verifier is a fairly small file and is invaluable for
those doing any research in the US to make sure that the locations are
placed in the correct historical county.
There is an option under the Options window to change Legacy to English -
UK
Thanks for using Legacy.

Subject: [LegacyUG] The Americanisation of Legacy?
Does anyone else think that Legacy is going down the path of the majority
of
other available FT programs by becoming more and more Americancentric?
The latest update include lots of things to do with American counties etc.
There is even a button in the form of the Stars and Stripes !!
In my particular tree everybody is either British or Australian.
Legacy is now suffering from bloat and this could be the reason for the
bugs
etc.
I have been using Legacy since Version 3 and up till now I have been very
happy.
I left FTM and switched to Legacy for the same reason.
If only Legacy could have made a lot of this *extra* stuff optional !!
Alas
that is not so (sigh)
Might be time to look at a program more Britishcentric !!!
Time to do some research.
Thank you for puttin up with my rant.
Regards
Dave Aitchison
