[LegacyUG] New FamilySearch (nFS) -- update for non-LDS members

2011-02-28 Thread Cathy-0

If you have the software still installed and still can't find it, open up Legacy and see if it loads. If not, see if it's listed under File (under Exit) where it shows documents that have been opened previously. I do the latter a lot with other software if I can't find a file because it was sa
