Thank you Lori! Are you saying that I could synch Legacy to myheritage.com? Is syncing from Legacy possible with Ancestry.com or Roots Magic? If there's a synch option in Legacy, I can't find it. I use only Legacy and myheritage.com for my genealogy, and have no experience with Roots Magic. I have an Ancestry account but don't use it. Are any of these other sites better for syncing? Forgive me if I'm not asking the right questions. What Cloud service do you use?
