Legacy Family Tree is an award winning full-featured professional genealogy software application that will help track, organize, print, and share your family history.

The program is free and has no restrictions. (A Deluxe Edition is also available.) The user interface is easy-to-use and is always intuitive. Entering data on individuals is easy; simply fill in the blanks. The individual input form includes room for vital information plus an unlimited number of events, notes, and pictures.

It is easy to navigate through all your family links using the Family View and Pedigree View screens, and the program can use this information to create literally dozens of reports.

These include the typical ancestor and descendant charts as well as relationship diagrams, timelines, surname summaries, census forms, and family history books (complete with tables of contents and indexes). Most reports have the option to include photographs.

The To Do List makes it easy to track research and other tasks that need to be done. Links to the Internet let you quickly search for anyone in your family file among billions of names. Legacy's merge capabilities are second-to-none among genealogy programs.

The IntelliShare feature makes it easy for groups of two or more people to coordinate their works and stay caught up on each other's changes. Legacy offers extensive multimedia support including pictures, sound clips, and videos. These can be displayed individually, in slide shows or even screen savers.

The program imports and exports standard GEDCOM files as well as directly reads PAF files. You can customize nearly everything in Legacy.

Here are some key features of "Legacy Family Tree":
· Research Guidance - Legacy’s Research Guidance helps you locate records that may contain information about your ancestors.
· Forms Center - New forms will be added on a continuing basis. These new forms will probably be available online in various packets for those who want to download them.
· Legacy Home - The new Legacy Home tab on the main screen of Legacy brings you important information about your family file and also gives you a global view into the world of genealogy. It includes Legacy News, To-Do item reminders, birthday and anniversary reminders, general reminders, statistics about your family file, links to update Legacy, technical support links and much more. The built-in browser lets you view Internet content without ever leaving Legacy.
· Timelines - This feature lets you select timeline files containing events from certain localities, and add them to the Chronology report as background information to show what was happening during a person's life. Timeline files can be created and edited by the user.
· Potential Problems List - The list of all the problems found are now presented in a grid list that is retained from session to session (until rebuilt by the user). From the list you can edit the affected individuals and correct the problem or exclude it from future checking.
· Global US County Verification - This new feature checks your entire family file to verify that the US counties you have used were in existence for the time periods you are using them for.
· DNA - Legacy now lets you record DNA marker test results from several different companies.
· Location Prepositions - On the Add/Edit Location screen (reached from the Master Location List), there is a field for the location preposition. This defaults to "in" but can be changed to other prepositions like near, around, outside, northwest, etc. These prepositions are then used when building report sentences.
· Sources - You can now connect source citations to:
This individual never married (individual screen)
This couple didn't marry
This couple didn't have children
· Book Reports - Complete control of spacing between all sections of the reports. There is a Custom Report Spacing button on the Page Layout tab of the various book reports. This opens a screen allowing you to specify the blank line space above all the various report sections.
· Book Reports - The Location Index can now be printed with a different number of columns than the Name Index.
· Note Fields - There is now a Strip HTML button that lets you remove any embedded HTML codes that ended up in the notes because of a Copy/Paste from a web page (for example).
· Note Fields - There are now Font styles buttons allowing you to bold, underline, italicize, and superscript parts of the notes. The changes show in the notes instead of just showing printer codes as in the past.
· Potential Problems - Check for sort order of children, Check for children born < 9 months.
· Soundex Code lookup from the Soundex Calculator - (Tools > Soundex Calculator). When a Soundex code has been generated, you can click the Search Name List button to create a list of all the surnames in your family file with the same Soundex code.
· RTF Embedded Pictures - When reports are generated to an RTF file, there is an option to embed the picture links in the file. This then automatically displays the pictures in the report when the file is loaded into MS Word or other word processors. The Standard edition only shows the picture paths in the document. The option is set on the Other tab of the Options > Customize screen.
· Location Report - You can now include the birth and death date information for each person on the report. You can also have the Age of the person shown for each event when the locations were used.
· Questionnaire - Output to screen/printer or text file.
· Customize - Right-click any box title to reset the default values for the options within that box. This is done on the various tabs of the Options > Customize screen.
· Conditional Event Sentences - There is a new IF-THEN-ELSE command that can be used in event sentences to control the output better.
· Pictures - There is now support for multiple-page TIF files (a TIF file containing more than one picture).
