A real boon for the serious genealogist, this program forgoes most of the frills of the other programs and concentrates on charts, reports, and forms compliant with genealogical society standards. The data can be viewed in either Family or Pedigree view, and the program can use this information to create literally dozens of reports. And while the program can support a large number of graphics file formats, there is unfortunately no support for importing a photo directly from a scanner. Invariably, while researching and acquiring facts and figures for your family tree, you'll come across two different data sheets for the same person. With Legacy, you can merge the two documents using the IntelliMerge feature and choose which data you want to keep.
Legacy is a solid program offering intuitive yet advanced functions for genealogy buffs.
