Genealogy Software Legacy vs RootsMagic

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

Not meant to be a thorough review of both software but more an observation on functionality based on my own needs. In addition to being able to record the information I also tend to like a program that has extended functionality and options with regards to building a website or internet pages based on the genealogy information. While I can say that  I like the RootsMagic citation wizard, I definitely prefer the website builder that comes with Legacy. I currently have Legacy ver6  but plan to upgrade to 7 in the not too distant future.

 

I will try to do a more thorough review of both at some point.

 

Just to add - Legacy comes with a built in map generator that builds up a map based on the names and locations in your database and the map can be viewed as a conventional map or as a hybrid with a regular map overlay or it can actually show you the actual landscape(similar to that google map thing)  and flags locations where ancestors lived that you can click on and get information on the ancestor.

 

Looking forward to playing around with it over the weekend
