FEATURES IN LEGACY 8


   

I’m excited about many of the new features that are included in the newest version, just released for Legacy Family Tree software.
I’ve been using this software for about 7 years and have never been disappointed.  I’ve listed the purchase options below, along with all the NEW features in Version 8 and below that a list of the general features of Legacy.  You can go to their website for further information http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Index.asp

NEW Origins Report
NEW Migration Report
NEW Migration Mapping
See where you came from and the percentage of "blood" you have from your countries of origin with the new Origins Report.
See how far and wide a person's descendants spread out in the world with the new Migration Report.
Legacy animates the ancestor's movement through time. Watch how they migrated from place to place. View their migration in street, aerial, or 3D modes. Hover over the balloon to see what happened in each location.



NEW Instant Duplicate Checking
NEW Potential Problem Alerts and Gaps
NEW Shared Events
As you are adding new individuals to your tree, Legacy instantly checks to see if perhaps they are already in your family file, helping you avoid inadvertently adding duplicates.
Typos and accidental misinterpretation of data are now a thing of the past. The warning symbol is displayed immediately next to info that contains a potential problem. Unusual gaps of time are detected that you may have not previously noticed (like too many years between the births of the children).
Save time and avoid errors by sharing an event amongst all the individuals who participated in the event. You can specify each person's role in the event.

ENHANCED Descendant Chart
NEW Source Quality
Displays the ancestors of both the husband and wife, as well as their children.

Now record the quality (original vs derivative, primary vs secondary, etc., direct vs indirect) of each source as you attempt to prove your conclusions.
NEW Source Labels
ENHANCED Source Clipboard
NEW Pedigree Citations
Now print Source Labels to attach to the top of your documents. You will never again lose the citation when making a photocopy for someone else.
