I am an American with ancestors who came from Wales, Scotland, England
and Germany (and possibly even Switzerland), and as a result can see your
requests for the more European version, but I can also see that I want the
Americanized version also. Most Americans came from other
countries, But that doesn't mean that we must do away with most of the
features that help Americans sort out their American heritage, just also
include those features that will help with the information from other
countries as well!
Thank-you.

Subject: [LegacyUG] The Americanisation
of Legacy?
Dave said - 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?
In my
particular tree everybody is either British or Australian.
Dave, I'm with
you. The programme does tend toward the USA. I am Australian so all my
genealogy searching is either Irish/British-Australian or German-Australian
b/c of the immigrant factor. Love to have more elements
of British-European countries included.
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
