What is Legacy Family Tree?
Legacy is a full-featured genealogy program that assists family historians in tracking, organizing, printing, and sharing family history. The standard edition is distributed as freeware, with no restrictions, only requiring registration on the companys web site to download the software. Users may pay a fee to "unlock" the additional features in the deluxe edition. The standard edition may thus be considered a kind of registerware and crippleware.
Comments and Reviews
I can't say for how many years I have been using this soft, but certainly from the version 3. I find it powerfull and like very much the main window. Among various functions, looking for records and tagging them (with several tags) is really astonishing. The free version don't really have limits. The paid version allows to open and compare two genealogies together and drag and drop some people (very tricky to use, as you may mix families by mistake). Tagging people anx exporting them to a new database is very usefull. I use Gramps on Linux, as well, but those tagging and exporting functions are a little less efficients.
Meeting the features of Legacy FTM is critical for switching high-value platform users to Linux. The argument that "even your grandparents can use Ubuntu" will never be true until they can do their genealogy with the same feature sets they're used to.
GRAMPS is about the best out there, but miles away.
