There's a new place for our Danish Legacy Family Tree users to hang out! Join our new Danish Legacy User Group on Facebook today to share ideas, ask questions, or just lurk. Or if you're thinking about using the Dansk edition of Legacy, come hang out in the group and see what others are saying.

How to join

Click here and then click on the green Join Group button. As it is a closed group (to prevent spam, etc.), your request to join will be reviewed by our administrators. This shouldn't take long though.

What's Next?

Look for the Legacy User Group - Danmark link in your Facebook "GROUPS" panel (it's on the left). Click on it and read what others have written, post a comment, or ask a question. 

Notifications

You can also adjust your notifications. Look for this in the upper right.

The recording of today's webinar, "Legacy Family Tree - Virtual User's Group Meeting," is now online for free at www.FamilyTreeWebinars.com. A few comments from our viewers:

• So glad I changed to Legacy ...... not a better program for genealogy.
• Being a visual learner, it helps so much when you do these classes!! I feel like it's *just for me* - one on one instruction!
• This User Group is very helpful. I am in the process of switching from TMG to Legacy. There were some tasks/reports that I used a lot in TMG and I thought were not available in Legacy, but by attending the Virtual Group I found that those options are still available to me!

The recording of today's Legacy Family Tree Virtual User's Group meeting is now available to view at www.FamilyTreeWebinars.com for free. We learned about dates, searching, and tagging. A few comments from our viewers:

• My wife & I didn't really appreciate or understand tags before this seminar, but this has opened up a whole new set of tools for us. Thank you so much for this in-depth, practical hands-on demonstration. Masterfully done!
• Fabulous!!! The information on tagging really helped me understand both how and why to use it.
• Geoff, you convinced me. I have been avoiding searching and tagging but as of today, I will be using it. Thank you so much for these webinars on using Legacy.
• It looks like before I get too far along I had better switch to Legacy. I sure like all you can do with it. You are making a believer out of me.
