Be a paying member, and use that service to get records to download and enter into Legacy. while you are on Ancestry attach the records to the Ancestry tree.<br /><br />Now, when you get records from say FamilySearch (it's free) or from your other membership with MyHeritage you add them to Legacy, but you don't bother with updating Ancestry.<br /><br />Advantage is that you can invite family to your ancestry tree, you can get hints and either accept or ignore them. If you upload a new gedcom you are starting the ancestry tree hint cycle, invitations, et all over again. I suspect that My Heritage does the same thing, but I'm not a paid user so I don't know.Peter Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10626696893615387796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-58047928047862358002014-05-21T12:33:56.026-07:002014-05-21T12:33:56.026-07:00Darn, MOAGD.com is already taken!

I like the FamilySearch idea and something that sticks with me all the time is the RootsTech 2013 comment "80% of all research is a duplication of effort". I currently use Family Tree Maker, Legacy, Reunion, and have subscriptions to Ancestry, Fold 3, and use NEHGS for research. Getting it all updated is not happening. Each product and website has it's benefits but I want more communication. The place I find the most cousins is Find A Grave.

My concern I guess is after you have uploaded the new trees to Ancestry, MyHeritage, etc. that will start the process of hints, Record Matches all over again - Then I will have to wade through all them all over again and with a very large tree this can be quite time-consuming. With that said, I still like your approach.Robbhaashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00971475779715380113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-54656109685387309132014-05-19T20:11:15.508-07:002014-05-19T20:11:15.508-07:00Excellent answer to that question Randy. I agree ...Excellent answer to that question Randy. I agree with your advice and your synopsis of the whole situation. <br />I'm one of those who doesn't like the "mother of all trees" and I don't contribute to the tree on Family Search. <br />I do use Legacy 8 as my primary database and Ancestry as a place to find hints and connect with others. <br /><br />DianeDiane Gould Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362418860289987479noreply@blogger.com
