The dedicated genealogist knows that when you do family history research, you should keep track of each piece of information you collect and also where you found it. Legacy responds to this need by providing an efficient Master Source List where a general source description can be entered. Once the source description has been entered, the user can simply point to that description in the Master Source List and record just the unique information for each piece's place within that source. Buttons are provided on the Information windows of individuals and marriages where a simple click of the mouse will paste source data into selected fields. Source data can also be assigned to all imported records.
Legacy also provides an excellent search engine.
Queries by example can be performed, where you just fill in the blanks. A detailed search employing up to three conditions can also be made. Miscellaneous searches can also be made, focusing on the individual, the family or the focus group. Legacy provides great flexibility in linking. Linking children to multiple parents such as in adoptions is a good example.
