After viewing this 3rd tutorial section, I have had thoughts about starting my tree from the beginning..Like all NEW.. for me to go into the GEDCOM I loaded into Legacy 9 might become dicy at best, considering having 6,000 names.. Then it will take plenty of time to do from scratch just the same.. I am OK with that.. At least it will be correct to some extent untill I have everybody entered..Afterwards I can start re-adding other members and their children and their childrens children, etc.. I do see that Legacy 9 has many valuable features to it that Ancestry Family Tree by Mckiev doesn't at this time.. I see that Legacy can solve one or two main issues I have that Ancestry doesn't have.. Even though some of Ancestry's features are hidden.
