The Lowdown on Legacy 5.0

By Diane Haddad Premium

Software maker Millennia has introduced an upgrade to its popular Legacy Family Tree genealogy computer program. Version 5.0 is available in a free Standard Edition — but the Deluxe Edition has the best new features, including:

• a place-names database with a Radius Search for nearby towns

• a descendant-view option from the main screen to show the selected person’s progeny

• a US historical county verifier to warn you about incorrect county names for the given time period

• reports, such as multiple lines of descent and a photo calendar

Legacy Family Tree 5.0 requires Windows 95 or higher and 64MB RAM. Download the Deluxe Edition for $19.95 from <www.legacyfamilytree.com>; add $10 to $25 for training CDs and a user guide. Look for a review in the June 2004 Family Tree Magazine.
