Legacy Family Tree 7.0 is the newest
reincarnation of the successful Legacy Family Tree
program, which allows users to build rich, high quality
family trees and genetic charts using a range of advanced
tools. Legacy Family Tree 7.0 is a fantastic site that
offers two membership options - a free download which
opens up access to Legacy Family Tree's most important
core features, and a deluxe download (or CDROM) option
which opens up access to all of Legacy Family Tree's most
advanced features. Legacy Family Tree 7.0 is affiliated
to FamilySearch.com, a fantastic genealogy research site
that works ideally with Legacy Family Tree 7.0. Although
the advanced Family Search integrated search function is
not ready yet (it is still in production!), when it's
all ready to go it will be included in the free standard
download package.
Legacy Family Tree 7.0 is packed full of useful features
that will make creating your family tree so much easier.
While the deluxe version does open up access to a vast
range of premium features, even the standard version
provides the average user with all they would need to
create a perfect family tree. It's simple to expand your
family tree using the standardization templates that are
available with the standard version of Legacy Family Tree
7.0. Using these templates is an excellent way to ensure
that your family tree is well constructed and contains
all the information that you have gleaned from your
research. We were also impressed with the inclusion of
the Legacy SourceWriter, which helps users properly
source and cite their research (to genealogy industry
standards), regardless of their level of experience. The
SourceWriter also produces automatic bibliographies,
footnotes, endnotes and more to make sure that your
research is both functionally and visually
professional.
Legacy Family Tree 7.0 also has a vast range of advanced
features that are available to those who upgrade to the
deluxe version of the software. Deluxe users can make use
of Microsoft Visual Earth to view maps of their ancestors'
migration, and view 3D and satellite images of their
ancestors' key geographical locations. The interview
centre makes the, often difficult, task of interviewing
your family much easier, by providing users with a range
of pre-written questions and memory prompts. We were
particularly impressed by the wide range of learning
materials that are available (at additional cost) from
the website. These high quality DVD Tutorials and glossy
booklets ensure that those users who are less confident
with the programme can still get great results. Although
these are only available for an additional fee, we
definitely feel that they are reasonably priced
considering the support they provide for certain
users.
We were pretty impressed with the features that Legacy
Family Tree 7.0 had to offer. While it's
clear that the scale and functionality of Family Tree
Builder and Family Tree Maker (our No.1 reviewed product
in this category) is a little greater, this site isn't
bad as a free resource. If the facilities listed here
sound like they could interest you, hit the link below to
give it a try!
