Use Legacy at Your Family History Center

Millennia offers a free copy of Legacy Family Tree Deluxe to be installed on all computers at Family History Centers. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the parent organization of Family History Centers, issued a letter stating that it is permissible to use Legacy at Family History Centers.

Will Legacy work with the new Family Search?
Yes, it will in the near future.  We are one of the approved affiliates and have been working with the Church helping test and develop the new API.  We are working very hard on new Family Search integration and have some very cool features coming that will really make it easy for users.

Don't I need to use PAF to work with the church's upcoming new system?
No. In fact, church leaders have publicly stated that PAF will not be updated. Read about this here.

Don't I need to use PAF to submit names to the temple?
No. Legacy is completely compatible with the church's TempleReady system and will even prepare the names for you.

What about searching the IGI - do you have something similar to PAF Insight?
Yes. Legacy will automatically search the IGI and update your family file with the new ordinances found.

Do I have to retype everything to get it into Legacy?
No. After installing Legacy, just click on the button that says Import PAF. That's about it. Legacy retains all the names/dates/places, sources, notes, picture links, and even RINs and MRINs.

Can Legacy help our patrons with their research?
Yes. Legacy has a built-in Research Guidance system which looks at what is known about the ancestor, then creates a step-by-step checklist of the sources that should be checked.

Do Patrons need to purchase Legacy?
No, the Free Standard Edition contains everything LDS users need.  We feel Legacy contains more LDS features than any software available and it's all included in the free version.
