Judith,
Thank you for replying also. I was asking this question as much for you as
for myself. Both of us had answered the gentleman asking a question, earlier
today. Seemed as though someone had an answer but not willing to share with
all. Although I have been doing research for almost 5 years, I haven't done
anything software wise other than FTM version 16, and didn't like it any at all.
I have been looking for something easier, and better with the kind of things
that make life easier for me, and not the people who make these programs. I
don't have the "geeters" to shell out to try any or all programs made. I have
used Ancestry.com for all of my trees and research, but I like to me more in
charge of what I do, and what I share. Also, dial up is a witch, and that
is all I have access to. Ancetry.com is the only site that works fairly quick
for me. I did finf DeadFred.com yesterday, but it takes way too long to
download, so I won't be able to figure out anything to help me from it.
I Have been waiting on an email from a Judy Flynn, descendant of an Ohio
Staley. Any luck this could be you?
Thanks for everything
Dan

I am not familiar with Legacy deluxe 7 but did a search and it appears to be
highly rated. I have been using Family Tree Maker and not happy with it.
Love the ancestry.com site for research and also LDS Family Search which btw
you can download a free program. Hope there is someone out there that can
be more specific on the Legacy for you. Happy Hunting :o)

I guess my question didn't go through, or it isn't worth a response. I was
asking if anyone has heard of or used Legacy deluxe 7 ? I haven't heard of
it,
but then I am not up on software. I just use the Ancestry.com site, and need
something more.
Thanks to those who help
