In our last blog we learned how to beginning to enter in one's family vital information. The data entry is not complicated if you have all the information. Once you have done that the next thing to do could be to look for additional information on your ancestor.
With your ancestor in the main view, click on the "Research Guidance" which is the last icon under their main information, here is what the icon looks like:
Once you click that you are presented with some choices across the top as tabs:
1) Define Timeline
2) Preliminary
3) Suggest Sources
4) To Do Lists
Each has something to offer, however, if it is research one is wanting to do, #3 is the best option as it shows you possible records to search to learn additional information about your ancestor.
Even the seasoned researcher can pick up some hints from this research guidance.
The reports section has every kind of chart and report one would expect from this type of sofware.
They include pedigree charts, family group sheets, statistics reports, a publishing center, ancestor book, descendant book, a descendant narrative book, multiple lines of descendant book, blank charts and wall charts. There wall charts is impressive as they provide the following choices:
It looks like this software along with the others has all the necessary features to help you build your family tree, research your tree with some additional hints and create a beautiful wall chart to share with other family members.
It does have the necessary LDS features that are most important to them.
Remember. they have many tutuorials at various levels right on their website here.
As a side note, Legacy Family Tree provides a service to all those wanting to learn more about researching through their Legacy Family Webinars which are held regularly. If one can't make it, one can easily, for a small fee, download it and learn! What a great service they provide. To learn more about their webinars, please click here.
