One thing you may not be aware of is that you can copy your training CDs directly to your hard drive and run them from there. What I did was to create a directory called Video Training and under that created a directory for each CD with the name, such as CD 1 - Legacy for Beginners. Then I just co

With the Legacy versions that I have used, I have found that the learning curve was much less than I expected because I bought the training DVDs. That is s very helpful. I watch some over and over or re-watch them when I am ready for something new. Ellen Kramer Researching and lo

Legacy is the only program I've ever used for genealogy/family history. Came across it (version 5) when I was first getting started, and have never looked back. One of the two local genealogy groups I go to uses Legacy almost exclusively used because it comes so highly recommended. I say "a

I've used a number of genealogy programs over the past 10-15 years as most of us have done and I have found that Legacy is about the most versatile one I've ever used. It has a learning curve to be sure, but I suspect that you will be a spokesperson for it once you've used it for a while. I'

Well I, for one, had switched... I first used a genealogy program in 1988, and Legacy didn't exist at that point. I was very careful about changing programs for a lot of reasons (including a couple of bad experiences.) - but switched to Legacy a few years ago after being recommended by a friend (
