Marilyn: Families will run on an iPad and iPhone. I have it running on my iPhone and have an iPad also. I also have GedView, FamViewer, and Tree-to-Go on my iPhone and iPad.
Families allows you to edit the file on the iPhone/iPad and then transfer (write a new Legacy file) back to your computer. Families is the best one to work directly with Legacy files to include pictures and all events. The others mostly transfer a GEDCom file to the iPhone app and then you can view the information and see a tree or report. The screens are too small on the iPhone to be of much use when viewing, but you do have all of your genealogy information at your finger tips. The Tree-to-Go works directly on-line with your family tree information on Ancestry.com and allows editing your information on the web site. For Legacy users, the Families App is the best one to work with. Keep in mind that all of these apps lack many of the features you have come to expect on your desktop Legacy software, but they are very useful and I would highly recommend all of them. GedView is probably my 2nd choice for an app on the iPhone/iPad. Good luck. ___ Leon Chapman ----- On Mon, Aug 16, 2010 at 3:19 PM, Marilyn Clark <paddypeppe...@yahoo.com>wrote: > I, too, would like to know.
