I have been using Genota 4 and Genforms 2 as two research tools for a while now. Both programs will link to your Legacy data files which is very handy.
Genforms 2 allows you to enter data from your Birth, Death & Marriage records as well as many other types of official sources in a structured database that can be searched. Very handy to see how often the same person (e.g. witnesses) are noted on statutory documents. Genota 4 allows you to enter your research notes for a specific person or even a subject. You can also link repository details where sources are held, link to scanned documents that are held on your computer and also establish links other members of your Legacy family tree. Recommend you take a look – trial versions are available.

While thinking of how to store documents that might not have a place in Legacy, but will have a place when I, hopefully, put together a family history (such as the history/customs of the place where they lived) I remembered reading about these two programs that work with word processors. Zotero is a plugin that works with firefox and Word or Open Office. It's a way to cut and paste and save research in one place, from what I understand. Does anyone use a tool like this for genealogy, or is it overkill? All these extra files could be kept in the same directory/subdirectories where I keep the media I have loaded, or will load into legacy. I hope this isn't too off topic. For me, Legacy is a tool not just to store information in, but hopefully one that will help me when I want to put all the information into an interesting story/history.
