Hints and Tips from Macbev
What is Legacy
Legacy is a family tree program which is free to download. It has a simple training video which is free to watch and also has an extensive help file. The basic program is more than suitable for everyday use. It is possible to upgrade to the deluxe version, although most people never feel the need to do this.
If you want to download Legacy
When the page opens, ignore the bits at the top which say "Deluxe edition, Buy It Now". Scroll down the page and you will see it says “standard edition” and next to it is a button which says download it now.
Just click on this and follow the instructions. It asks you to put in your email address and it will send you an email with the password in it. You can do that if you prefer, but the password is always “family”, so you can just put that in at the prompt.
There is a simple little training video which is free to watch and takes you through all of the basics. Some bits are not relevant, as they apply to America, but I found it very useful at first. If you would like to evaluate the software before you download it, it is possible to watch the training video first; you will find the link to this just to the right of the download button mentioned above.
Once you are using "Building Your Tree" in Legacy, you can access the video by clicking on the on Legacy Home tab on the top of the page (you are usually on the family tab). From the bottom right hand support box, choose training videos.
