I am also on No Call List. When first enrolled I recieved a few unwanted phone calls. I politely listened, ask for the person's name and phone number, then called the number, asked for the supervisor, explained to him that I was going to call the 'no call' people and report his employee to them. One call was all I needed. Good luck. Six years running. Rich in LA CA

I get enough wrong numbers and collection calls for other people (average 12 a day) some in different languages. I also do not appreciate anyone calling my cell phone number unless I gave them permission to use it. I did not give any permission to Legacy Family Tree to sell out my phone number to some company I have no interest in either. I’m also on the Do Not Call list, which is apparently useless because I still get calls from everywhere. The problem is once you give it to one company, they give it to others and very few companies abide by their own rule that they will not sell our personal information. They do if it’s to their advantage to profit from it.

We have partnered with a few other genealogy companies that we like. When I say partnered I simply mean that we have agreed with a few other companies like GenealogyBank and WorldVitalRecords in order to bring great deals to our users and for their companies to do the same with their users and help us introduce Legacy to them. The promotions usually allow us to offer what we feel are great companies and what they do for very substantial discounts. This is good for our users who are doing research and want an inexpensive way of trying some of the different companies that are out there. It also allows us to tell all of their customers about Legacy Family Tree. Our goal is to tell the world about Legacy and to continue to work hard on Legacy adding innovative features. I cannot speak for WorldVitalRecords and why they are promoting Find a Grave as if it was their own but there must be some agreements between those two companies or I would think Find a Grave would sue or at least ask them to stop what they are doing. Again, this statement by me has no merit other than it's my opinion as I simply don't know the details between these two companies. If this is a concern to you then you really should follow through and contact both of those companies and work with them to get an answer as to what's going on. WorldVitalRecords has many records that FamilySearch, Ancestry, GenealogyBank, Find a Grave and may other sites do not have. When researching I think many will try as many different sites as they can in order to find the records they are looking for. Often only one company will a license to the data a county (or who ever) has collected and if you were to only look on FamilySearch for your ancestors they may not have the records that you need. I do love FamilySearch especially because it's free and they have tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands indexing the records for them which is making the records easy to search. Isn't it great how the companies listed above continue to constantly add new records . Syble, Thank you for your many hours of service with Find a Grave. We also thank all the rest of you who have volunteered with similar projects like Indexing FamilySearch records. It's only with lots of help from everyone that great things happen. Thank to all of you for your service!!! Thanks, Ken McGinnis Millennia Corporation kenmcgin...@legacyfamilytree.com http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com We are changing the world of genealogy! From: "Syble Glasscock" <syble_...@yahoo.com> Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2011 6:59 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Legacy's Association with World Vital Records I'm VERY disappointed that Legacy is now officially associated with World Vital Records, according to their recent newsletter, and offer signed by Ken, Dave and Geoff. In that column World Vital Records.com boast of the world's largest map and tombstone photo collections, which is actually findagrave.com. findagrave has MANY faithful followers and volunteers of which I am a part. We have put in many hours to a website that stated our information would not be sold, but it apparently has been. If you search a name in World Vital records, your work that you voluntarily added to findagrave.com can now appear as theirs that people have to PAY to see. So how about the REAL truth from World Vital Records, apparently they just have some real good sales people. I have a paid subscription to World Vital Records, I received several phone calls, and numerous emails trying to get me to renew my subscription early, it became VERY annoying. I finally informed the last caller, that I had no intention of renewing, and just what I thought of World Vital Records and to STOP calling me. I had searched numerous times and and found nothing of value. Legacy's association with family search.org which also uses information from MANY volunteers, but family search is still a FREE web site and a good one at that. Most of us have searched it at some point in our hunt for our ancestors and it does a good service to the genealogy community. So what's going on with Legacy, is the interest still genealogy software?
