Leon: That sounds wonderful; thanks for the preview. But a big question in many minds is, "How will this affect the zillions of sources I've already entered?" Do you have any clue about that?

Geoff presented an overview of Legacy 7 at our genealogy users group this month at Sun City Grand and the sourcing templates looked wonderful. They have integrated sourcing using a Wizard for inputs. As I understand, they have all the sourcing templates for everything in E. Mills latest book, Evidence Explained. It is also my understanding that there were over a 100 problems in that book that Geoff had uncovered and worked with E Mills to get clarification on. This has also led to some of the delays with Legacy 7. I think everyone will be greatly impressed with the new sourcing capabilies in terms of both input and output formats. You basically enter the fundamental source data in templates and the Wizard writes the output sourcing based on the examples in E. Mills book. You don't have to worry about the formating of the output -- it comes as part of the system. There are also ways you can go back and edit the source if you so desire. I think everyone will find this part of Legacy to be well work whatever the cost of the new version will be. Geoff also showed a nicely integrated mapping system as part of Legacy 7. For locations in your database, one can zoom into the street level to see a cemetery location. There is also the capability to view the maps in 3D and do similar things like is in Google Earth. Cities are shown with buildings in 3D. You will need a high speed Internet connection for best performance of this mapping system. Of course, everyone now is aware of the new Legacy 7 Charting capabilites -- it is available now as a Beta for testing until June 15th. Be sure to try it, you will like it.
