[LegacyUG] Legacy Merger
I do not have a MyHeritage account, but when I looked at it again after the merger announcement, it seems to be a family tree website. I searched for some of my ancestors and saw errors in just the little bit they let me see without an account, just as when I search the Ancestry trees. I have used Legacy just about from its beginning, through all the versions. I do not used the search features; I just want good software that lets me document names and personal data, events, and sources in an efficient manner, and then lets me print useful and well-formatted reports. I also use it to create webpages for my own family history website. I don’t upload family trees to sites like Ancestry and MyHeritage or Genii. I want a website that shows complete source documentation and event notes that are as long as I want. The thing I would like Legacy is to allow drag and drop on the webpages instead of just source code. I have tried TNG more than once, including having them set it up, etc., and then paying someone to help a bit, but I just can’t master it. Legacy webpages are easy for the reader to maneuver, and I like that uncluttered aspect. Through the years I have tried most of the other genealogy software, but Legacy has fit my needs better than any. I do genealogy research on a client basis also, and I use Legacy if the project is large enough to merit it. It creates footnotes for me to paste into the narrative report I write for the client, as well as printing reports when needed and creating a simple family tree for the client, if the project is large enough. I create a family file and point them to the Legacy free download so they can see literally all my research. I am hoping for the best.

[LegacyUG] Future of Legacy Private Website Creator
As I understand it, Legacy software will continue to be a standalone desktop software. 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?

Re: [LegacyUG] LegacyUG] Future of Legacy Private Website Creator
John, does Gedsite automatically show your sources, or do you have to enter that manually? Thanks Donna From: John Cardinal Sent: Friday, September 8, 2017 3:32 PM To: 'Legacy User Group' Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] LegacyUG] Future of Legacy Private Website Creator Glória, GedSite (www.gedsite.com) does not create trees that look exactly like MyHeritage, but they are not lists, either. GedSite creates "person pages" for each person in the GEDCOM file, but it also allows you to add custom pages. Those pages can contain charts (with several variations available), stories, etc. It also includes a search feature where a visitor can match people based on name, spouse's name, or parent's names. There are too many other features to list here, but you can check it out via the website indicated above.
