Legacy will create the web pages and save them on your computer. What you choose to do after that is up to you. :-) If you want to put them on the web for others to find, you need to upload the pages to a server that does that. Choices to make there, too - are you going to pay an ISP to host your site, or use a free one? As you can see from my signature below, I use Rootsweb's Freepages for my web site. I don't have Legacy-produced pages there, but I could if I wanted. Not only is Freepages free, but there's good peer-to-peer support to be had, too, so you're not alone when you have a question. http://accounts.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index.cgi?op=show&page=freagree.htm You may also want to make use of the "WUL" group (Webs Using Legacy, if I recall correctly) if you find your questions going beyond the creating of the pages with Legacy. http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/WUL/ Although I don't have Legacy-produced web pages on my site, I have made use of them today. I've generated a set of pages for one half of my family, and burned them to a DVD to share with two aunts. I find this the easiest method for sharing my data with close family, who want to know "everything" I've found out about the family we have in common. In the past I've tried sending them a Legacy file for them to use in the free edition of the program, but they didn't want to be that involved and didn't use it. The web pages are excellent for that. They know how to browse a web page, so I don't have to teach them anything. Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Howard -- Kaiwaka, Northland, New Zealand http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wendyh65/ <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/%7Ewendyh65/> Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
