I have been a Legacy user for eons :-) and highly recommend the program for anyone wanting to organize their family research data easily, quickly and with much fewer keystrokes than in other programs. I think I have used almost every gene. program on the market over the years (most with a much higher price tag), but none even comes close to Legacy. Simple enough for the beginner, yet advanced features that makes even the most demanding genealogist smile. Great reports, quick and easy data entry (with repeat buttons and clipboards for fast entry of data to multiple records without retyping!), has a place for every tidbit of info you collect in your research, pictures, video, sound files etc can be attached to one or many records in a snap. Excellent sourcing, unlimited events... I could go on and on... Legacy is a very fast and stable program and won't hog your computer's memory. I highly recommend it!

I have both Family Tree Maker v11 and Legacy Family Tree v5 Deluxe. Legacy's program is a thousand times better, a thousand times more stable, a thousand times more detailed. It is truly the best and most sophisticated program on the market for genealogy. Everything the Millenium Corp says about their Legacy Family Tree program is true, and the support for the program is stellar! They make Broderbund's Family Tree Maker look like a Sesame Street program for preschool genealogy! And, you can try the program before you buy it by downloading a trial version from http://www.legacyfamilytree.com. Try it, you will be so happy you did! The purchase of v5 Deluxe was worth one hundred times more than what they charge for it!

I am helping a family member use this program. I have come up against a bug--the program is mis-identifying data files as having come from an older version of Legacy, making it impossible to open them. Considering the amount of work that has gone into these files, this is a very bad thing. The company refers users to the website, but there is no phone number available anywhere on the site, the FAQs are useless, and some of the tech help seems to be adversing (e.g., sign up for an email list).
Not providing a phone number for people who have invested time and money in a company's software seems a particularly slimy and stupid thing to do.

I purchased this product to help organize the growing data base of information that I was collecting in my quest for information on several Revolutionary War soldiers. I found it relatively easy to use. The reports that can be selected and printed made sharing the information with other members of the family were interesting and easy to request. It also makes things look much more professional rather than the photocopies that I have been making during my research


It seems to have a very large capacity which is good when working with this much information. I am sure that there is more option available than what I have used, but I will continue to work with this program.

I have been using this program for over 6 years and love it! Easy to use and creates wonderful reports. Highly recommended!!

I highly recommend this for anyone looking at doing a family tree. Very good functionality.

I can't use this product because it does not allow me to change the marital gender. I cannot link my family because I receive an error stating that only a husband can be linked with a wife. Get with the times people!!
