Legacy Family Tree SIG Meeting Nov 1st, 2022, 7:00 pm

This month’s meeting will be a little different as we have exhausted the longer free Legacy Family Tree videos, so I will be picking 2 – 3 topics from the paid videos to discuss. We won’t be watching the paid videos, but I will review them and try to channel my inner Geoff to discuss and demonstrate the topics live via zoom and my Legacy family file.

I hope to see you on Tuesday November 1st!

Our meetings are held on the 1st Tuesday of each month from 7:00 pm until 8:30. The link to the reoccurring Zoom Meeting is located at the bottom of this page.

The purpose of this Special Interest Group is for open discussion of topics related to using Legacy. This could include any questions or problems we are having with the program or tips and features we have discovered.  If you think of something you would like to bring up, please write it down so you can share it with the group.
