A Little Motivation for Tuesday: "What's New in Legacy Family Tree 9" by Geoff Rasmussen

My goodness this cleaning up of my Legacy database is taking forever, but it will pay off in the end.

It's funny because Legacy 9 was released just one week after I purchased the Legacy 8 software, which was thankfully not a problem ($8 to upgrade).

Geoff Rasmussen presented a quick overview of new features in Legacy 9 with "What's New in Legacy Family Tree 9"on April 18, 2017.

In this quick video, you will be introduced to the new features in the recently-released Legacy Family Tree 9 software.

Runtime: 6 minutes.

I think this webinar will be free indefinitely, although it is really only useful to people who already have the software.

Thursday Night Free Family Tree Webinar: "Neighborhood Reconstruction: Effective Use of Land Records" presented by Mary Hill, AG

Mary Hill, AG, presents "Neighborhood Reconstruction: Effective Use of Land Records"

Use USGS topographic maps, tract maps, plat maps, surveys, deeds, census records, and tax lists to reconstruct the neighborhood where your ancestor lived. Plat your ancestor’s land records and discover what unexpected clues might be discovered in the process. 

Awww, yeah, baby!  Part of why I'm cleaning up my master locations list on Legacy is because I need to be able to see all the people who lived in a particular area, and making my locations conform to one standard will provide better reports.  Once I see where people are I can take my analysis of individuals and families to the next level, and this webinar fits right into that plan.



Recorded April 19, 2017.  Runs 1 hour 56 minutes, and is free to non-subscribers through April 26, 2017.

Taking on Both Legacy 8.0 and Genome Mate Pro Means a Steep Learning Curve!

Go to the Genome Mate Pro website to download a copy if you are interested.

I have been spending a lot of time the past week tooling around with two genealogy programs that are new to me--Genome Mate Pro and Legacy 8.  Go big or go home!  It's taking more time than I originally thought, but it will be worth it because of all the added functionality of these programs.

I was hoping to have list of all possible Chromosome X donors by name (very cool! both maternal and paternal, as demonstrated in the Youtube video below starting at 6:10) as my post tonight, but I am still setting up my DNA matches and haven't even imported my gedcom.

Finally Broke Down and Bought Legacy Family Tree Genealogy Software

I broke down and bought the Legacy 8.0 Legacy Family Tree program, since it is highly rated.  I have relied on the Ancestry online program, which is fantastic, but I want to do more customized analysis, like where grouping together people by where they lived.  Now I can do that!
