Many of you have asked about forming a new Legacy User Group in your area. All it takes is one enthusiastic person willing to organize it. Some groups meet monthly, some meet quarterly. Many hold their meetings in conjunction with a local genealogical society. When you are ready, let us know and we will help advertise your new group, here in Legacy News.

Announcing the newest Legacy User Group - this time in Fresno, California.

Melissa, the leader of the group, wrote "so many were excited after your presentation in November! We've been meeting for a couple of months now and are having a great turnout."

Yes, Fresno has a great group of genealogists, and I have no doubt that their new Legacy user group will inspire and help many. Most recently, they have been reviewing the Legacy training videos and then having a question/answer time.

The group meets the first Saturday of the month from 10am to noon at the California History & Genealogy Room of the Fresno County Library (2420 Mariposa St., Fresno, CA) 2nd floor. For more information, please contact Melissa via email or telephone at 559-488-6720.

Legacy Family Tree user groups are popping up everywhere these days. This time in North Carolina.

If you live in the Murphy/Hayesville area of North Carolina we invite you to participate in the newest Legacy User Group. The first meeting will be held June 2, 2010.

The group will normally meet on the 2nd Wednesday night of each month at the Moss Library in Hayesville. The meetings will start at 6:30pm and last about two hours. The June meeting is scheduled for the 1st Wednesday (June 2) due to some other scheduled events.

The meetings are open to the public and are free. The programs will generally have a special presentation and then a work period to work on individual problems.

Each Legacy User Group determines its particular structure, goals, and officers.
