Three Large Legacy Family Tree Events - August/September 2009

We've just returned from one of the most successful genealogy conferences ever in Provo, Utah where we gave away numerous prizes including an Acer Netbook computer. Congrats to our netbook winner - Christine Baird!

The highlight of the conference was our Thursday evening class where, for the first time ever, we demonstrated our highly-anticipated FamilySearch integration software. There were so many of you attending the class (over 300) that we had to move everyone to the big auditorium (thanks to Marlo of Heritage Collector Suite for switching rooms with us!). Although the software was not yet complete, I must admit it was fun to hear the applause and cheering as we showed how the software works. I'm really excited about it and cannot wait to start using it with my Legacy Family Tree database. We announced that within the next two weeks we would begin its certification process with FamilySearch and have the free update available to you before the end of the year (of course we hope it's much sooner than that but we're learning not to announce "soon" anymore :)).

Upcoming conferences. In the next two months, we will participate in some of the largest genealogy conferences in the country. If you're in the area, we hope you'll stop by and say hello.

Salt Lake Family History Expo, August 28-29, 2009, Sandy, Utah

This event, organized by our friends at FamilyHistoryExpos.com, will likely be one of the largest genealogy events in North America this year with over 100 classes presented by the industry's best. We are lucky to have one of the genealogy industry's most entertaining speakers, Beau Sharbrough, present two classes on how to use Legacy. Beau will present:

• Timelines and Citations: Digging Deeper in Legacy 7.0
• Research Guidance

Leonard Plaizier, assistant director of the multi-stake Family History Center in Bountiful, Utah, will also present two overview classes on Legacy Family Tree.

We will once again be giving away an Acer Netbook computer at the conference, so be sure to be present for Don R. Anderson's keynote address, "Learn the tech to trace your roots" Friday morning at 8:00am where the entry forms will be distributed. Your paid registration for the conference includes:

• Concessions and tables available in the Exhibit Hall for lunch
• Printed event program
• Name tag
• CD syllabus
• Goody Bag stuffed full of coupons, discount offers, information and free trials
• Lots of classes
• Much more

FGS 2009 Annual Conference, September 2-5, 2009, Little Rock, Arkansas

Visit us in booths 319 and 418 for conference-special-pricing. We love these national conferences because we get to meet so many of our Legacy users. Bring along your suggestions and questions.

For more information, or to register, please visit http://fgs.org/2009conference/index.php.

Legacy Genealogy Cruise (6th annual), September 5-17, 2009, Mediterranean/Greece

All the other conferences are great, of course, but we cannot wait for this one. We've got a great group signed up, ready to see parts of the world I've only dreamed of visiting. On the sea days we'll have lots of genealogy/technology/Legacy classes and time to make lasting friendships with our Legacy users.

Our ports of call include Rome, Naples/Pompeii, Dubrovnik, Venice, Katakolon, Athens, Ephesus, and Istanbul.

In addition to bringing along my laptop and projector for the classes, I'll also be bringing my wife and 8-month-old daughter. I'm a bit nervous about the long plane ride to Spain with my baby, but it will be fun to "show her off".

BYU conference - win a free computer from Legacy Family Tree

Here's a little extra incentive to stop by the Legacy Family Tree booth at the BYU conference next week (begins Tuesday, July 28 in Provo, Utah). We're giving away a free Acer Netbook PC.

You do not have to register for the conference to be eligible to win the computer. But you do have to turn in the entry form (it's a crossword puzzle) to the Legacy booth by 4:00pm on Thursday and be present for the drawing. The drawing will be held at the end of our "Legacy & New FamilySearch" class which begins at 5:15pm in room 2258. The class is free and is open to the public.

Meet the Legacy developers
Legacy's Geoff Rasmussen (that's me) as well as Legacy's co-founder, Ken McGinnis, will be at the conference - so bring your questions and suggestions - we look forward to talking with you.

Download the entry form
All the contest rules (like you must be present to win, etc.) are explained on the entry form. Click here to download the form, or you can pick one up from the Legacy booth starting Tuesday morning. If you can't make it to the conference, download the form anyways - it's a fun crossword puzzle!

Is this a real computer?
It is so real, that I personally use an identical Acer Netbook for all of my presentations throughout the world. In fact, the Legacy seminar that we recently published online was recorded using this Acer Netbook. Actually, that's not all the way correct. The netbook we're giving away has a 10.1 inch screen. Mine is only 8.9 inches. It's got a "roomy" hard drive (160GB), and the 1GB of memory is enough to run its operating system (Windows XP). It also has a digital media card reader, built-in webcam, built-in stereo speakers, 3 USB ports, and built-in wireless so you can surf the Internet. Yes, it's a real computer and a real contest. Dick Eastman, our 2007 Legacy Genealogy Cruise speaker and editor of Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter, recently wrote about how great these netbooks are. DearMYTLE, our 2008 Legacy Genealogy Cruise speaker also wrote about netbooks here.

So, why are we doing this again?
Mostly for fun. But mainly we want as many people as possible to come see our "Legacy & New FamilySearch" class Thursday evening. We will not be announcing that our new FamilySearch interaction tools are now available to download (the crossword puzzle tells you when it will be released), but we will show you what the new software looks like and how close we are to its official certification.

Hope to see you all there!

Legacy classes to be taught at upcoming BYU Conference, July 28-31, 2009

BYU's annual "Conference on Family History and Genealogy" is coming up (July 28-31, 2009). As always, we will be there to answer your Legacy questions. We hope you will stop by and say hello.

We are also teaching two exciting classes on using Legacy:

Wednesday, July 29, 5:15-6:15pm, room 2260. Overview of Legacy Family Tree 7.0, taught by Legacy-expert Leonard Plaizier. Leonard has served for fourteen years at the South Davis Multi-Stake Family History Center as an Advisory Council Member, Assistant Director, Technology Specialist, Conference and Outreach specialist. If you have not heard Leonard speak, don't miss this class. He has a gift for teaching.

Thursday, July 30, 5:15-6:15pm, room 2258. Legacy and New FamilySearch, co-taught by Luc Comeau and Leonard Plaizier. Luc is our lead programmer responsible for Legacy's Research Guidance, Legacy Charting, and now Legacy's interface and synchronization tools with new FamilySearch. He will demonstrate how Legacy will interface with the new FamilySearch program. Although we have not yet released this tool to our Legacy users, attendees will get to see it in action (it's looking really good!). Leonard will present some great ideas about preparing your Legacy information to work more effectively with the new system. This should be a great class.

Legacy classes and user groups are available in many different parts of the world. To see our upcoming speaking and conference calendar, please visit http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Calendar2009.asp. To see if there is a local user group, please visit http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/UsersGroups.asp.

Legacy Family Tree seminar now online

If you did not make it to Hemet, California three weeks ago for the Hemet-San Jacinto Genealogical Society's "Genealogy Technology with Legacy's Geoff Rasmussen seminar" (that's me!) here's your second chance. We recorded the seminar and have now published the Legacy classes for everyone to view.

In the past, we couldn't make it to every genealogy society around the world that wanted us to demonstrate Legacy. But with technology, we can now bring a seminar to the comforts of your own home. You can even attend this seminar in your pajamas.

Publishing these "live" seminar classes is somewhat of a risk for me, because now the whole world gets to experience my dry humor and sometimes foot-in-the-mouth jokes which don't appear in our Legacy Training Video collection. But since one of my goals is to help others with genealogy and Legacy, I guess it's worth the risk....

The classes

We've published two of the seminar's four classes for you to view.

Legacy Family Tree - an Overview (54 minutes) is intended for those who are new to Legacy but is also a great refresher course for experienced Legacy users. Topics include:

• importing from another genealogy computer program
• setting and understanding relationships
• 1/2 siblings
• setting your direct line
• AKAs
• addresses
• notes
• sources
• pictures
• To Do List
• Research Guidance
• reports

Legacy Family Tree - Tips and Tricks (58 minutes) is intended for those who are experienced Legacy users, but everyone is welcome to view it. Topics include:

• chronologies
• effective use of events/facts
• adding historical events to timelines
• successfully obtaining information from living relatives
• creating books
• using Legacy Charting
• Descendant and Index View tips
• using the split screen feature
• what to do when you have an unproven relative
• how to add unlinked individuals
• news/updates
• family group records
