Margi, As an ex FTM (Family Tree Maker) user and now a long time Legacy user, I can recommend Legacy. I also would recommend the Deluxe version. If you go to the home page you can not only download Legacy, but you can purchase a user guide that is very helpful. You can also purchase tutorials that answer many questions. Good Luck. Barb

Dear Margi Peoples, I have just read your comment. I wouldn't worry about the LDS Church making your ancestors members of the Church. Your ancestors will have their freedom to decide whether or not to become members. The Church cannot force them to become members. Your question about purchasing the Legacy up-grade is a good one. I think that, for the small cost of up-grading, you will then be able to enjoy the additional tools and be very pleased to have done so.

Hello. Very happy to join the Genealogy Wise Group. I have used Legacy and PAF for many years. Legacy, I believe, is the best genealogy program--with all of its wonderful tools--available. PAF, a great basic program, as we know, is designed for all computers all over the world--a gift from the LDS Church. I have always been impressed by the great courtesy and help from the Legacy staff. Good to be here.

Hi,
Right now I have Family Tree Maker and I downloaded the Legacy. I like the toolbar in Legacy. But you can by the books for FTM at the bookstore. Which one is better or are they about the same, etc. If I do go with Legacy, is it better to go with the free one or should I upgrade. I also have taken a Beginner Class on Genealoy at the locate LDS Church it was so good I took it 3 times already and since they don't have an advance I will take it again. Anyway they use PAF, I not to crazy about that one. I don't want the LDS members to make my relatives Mormons unless those relatives say so.
Any advice would be helpful. Thank you

I have been a user of Legacy for some years now as I had to buy a new programme as my old one was purchased by Ancestry and discontinued. It is called UFT- Uultimate Family Tree. Some of you might recall it I still use it without any problems but sadly iut hasnt moved on. I find Legacy a great programme, incredibily easy to use. I have never had it crash on me or had any problem. Thank you millenia

I have a couple of Gay cousins, and I'm sure Gay ancestors, I tried to add my male cousins partner's name as his - well - partner, and Legacy wouldn't let me do a same sex couple, I reported what I thought was a bug but got a response back that to allow same sex couples is just too difficult to do! Apart from this, yes I love legacy and would never change, unless I could find a programme that could do this, how do I tell my cousin his Partner doesn't count?

Like others, I started out with FTM but became unhappy with it. I have now switched to Legacy. There is clean up to be done but I really appreciate the ease with which Legacy allows you to source and document your material.
