Well, I just installed Legacy. This is my first family tree software. I am both excited and nervous. While I've been using Ancestry.com for a while now. Actually installing software to keep track of everything I am finding is actually making me nervous for some reason. I feel like I am about to cross some line that I can't even see.
I installed this on my desktop. I know right now it will be going on my laptop instead. I want to be in my recliner where I'll be nice and comfy when I start filling out those databases. There is so much to learn about this software. However, I think it is going to make my life so much easier then trying to go back though 12 pages of records at ancestry to find one piece of information in my shoe box.
With the arrival of Legacy I am now committed. Ancestry, I can just stop paying and walk away. With a data base installed on my computer it will nag at me. You need to do this, you need to do that. There will be no walking away from it now. Watched out Leamon Stephens, I am coming for you & your about to be sourced!
I've been using Legacy for about 4 years now and I really like it. The MOST important piece of advice I have is to USE THE SOURCE WRITER!!! Once you get used to how it works it's pretty simple and will make your life much simpler later on!
