Review of Legacy 7 (The Free Version)

Hi everyone!
The other night I just couldn't sleep. I decided to go online and I read a million articles on genealogy. I really noticed how everyone was raving about how great Legacy 7 was. So, after checking it out some more I downloaded the free version.

Honestly - there are so many great features just in the free version. I was pleasantly suprised. For a free software - it is such a great resource.

Between the to-do list to keep my scatterbrain organized, the wonderful notes sections, the color and ease of use, and the amazing help it gives when you record sources - Needless to say, I think I've found my new program.


NOTE: The views expressed in this video are purely my own. I was not paid to talk about how great Legacy was. I am not trying to bash any other program. I am merely saying that it really seems to be a great program.


Also - I wanted to let you guys know that I have a brand new blog out: It kind of goes along with these videos but it also includes information on my own genealogy. So please check it out at: http://elysesgenes.blogspot.com
I decided to create this blog because of a suggestion that the wonderful Robert Ragan told me about. If you haven't heard of Mr. Reagan or his amazing genealogy site Treasure Maps yet, the I highly suggest you check out his website at http://amberskyline.com/treasuremaps/


As always - I love your comments and ratings. Thanks everyone!

Whoops. That last comment was for your census vids. LoL.

Anyway, I have used Legacy 7 as well and personally prefer MyHeritage Family Tree Builder. I thinks it's a lot easier to use and it's completely free. Free is always a plus in my book.

Cheers.

Lol, Don't worry about it!

I've never tried that program before...I'll have to definitely check it out. I know what you mean by free - that definitely gives a program brownie points!

Thank you so much for reviewing!

I find it very interesting that the old census require a person to state whether or not they are insane. That must have caused quite a few arguments between the census taker and certain household members! Anyway, good job!

I know! I love how they combine deaf and dumb - so apparently if you are deaf you are also dumb.

Apparently they hadn't heard of Helen Keller! lol.

Thanks for reviewing!

it's nice to hear about what the everyday jane would think of. families are changing and some people aren't married... They do have options for partners and friends. I wondered how you would delicately put "one night stands". The thing I was confused about with this vid was which software you were actually reviewing. You started talking about 05 Family Tree Maker... I admire your enthusiasm, but if you don't cite sources for your work it's not much more than a really good hint...
