I am new to the list. I've had Legacy for a loonnnng time, but have been inactive for a number of years. Am I understanding from all this discussion that Legacy does not sync with Ancestry.com? I must be missing something. Why would I use Legacy, but transfer everything to FTM? Sorry if this has been discussed before.
