I have had my website (created with the Legacy software and hosted by GoDaddy) for many years. I get responses, questions, and comments literally all the time. Collaboration takes place by e-mail.
I get good response on Google searches, meaning I run into my own research all the time. It’s hard for me to do a search on one of my ancestors without running into myself. But that means the website is visible and helpful to other researchers, which is my goal. I also run into my research that has been copied and just pasted into trees on Ancestry, etc., all the time, which is a frustration. (I am talking about personal narratives, not just facts or straight transcriptions.) But that is another topic. I have the great majority of my family research uploaded to it, so it deals not only with main ancestral lines, but also the lines of in-laws, etc. I like the Legacy setup because it allows me to show the sources of my research, with the documentation appearing as footnotes that are in a classic format and are useful to the viewer. It allows me to give credit to others for the information they have provided to me, as well as providing the usual source locations of information. I only include those born before 1900.

For your personal use? Do you get responses from other viewers that helps with your genealogy? Does it allow for collaboration? Thanks!

I have been with Legacy practically since its inception. Besides using Legacy for recording research and writing reports, I use Legacy to create my own website, which I then upload to GoDaddy, a regular non-genealogy related web host. This gives me complete flexibility in the creation and ownership of my website. Since MyHeritage pushes family trees on its own site, will Legacy continue to give us the capability of creating a genealogy website of our own with the Legacy software? Is Legacy the only genealogy software that allows you to create your website independently and then upload it to a regular non-genealogy related host? Any thoughts on this?
