What's new in version 8?
*Origins Report - See where you came from and the percentage of "blood" you have from your countries of origin with the new Origins Report.
*Migration Report - See how far and wide a person's descendants spread out in the world with the new Migration Report.
*Migration Mapping - Legacy animates the ancestor's movement through time. Watch how they migrated from place to place. View their migration in street, aerial, or 3D modes. Hover over the balloon to see what happened in each location.
*Instant Duplicate Checking - As you are adding new individuals to your tree, Legacy instantly checks to see if perhaps they are already in your family file, helping you avoid inadvertently adding duplicates.
*Potential Problem Alerts and Gaps - Typos and accidental misinterpretation of data are now a thing of the past. The warning symbol is displayed immediately next to info that contains a potential problem. Unusual gaps of time are detected that you may have not previously noticed (like too many years between the births of the children).
*Shared Events - Save time and avoid errors by sharing an event amongst all the individuals who participated in the event. You can specify each person's role in the event.
*Family Bow Tie Chart - Displays the ancestors of both the husband and wife, as well as their children.
*Descendant Chart - Now available in left-to-right formatting.
*Source Quality - Now record the quality (original vs derivative, primary vs secondary, etc., direct vs indirect) of each source as you attempt to prove your conclusions.
*Source Labels - Now print Source Labels to attach to the top of your documents. You will never again lose the citation when making a photocopy for someone else.
*Source Clipboard - The Source Clipboard has been expanded to load up to five different citations that can be assigned at the click of a button.
*Pedigree Citations - Add source citations to your Pedigree Charts, and attach the complete bibliography.
*FamilySearch Integration - Share, discuss, download and interact with FamilySearch's Family Tree (optional).
*Wall Charts - Duplicate lines can now be suppressed, saving room for more photographs and captions.
*Chronology View - Now view the parent's, grandparent's, children's, and grandchildren's vital events in your ancestor's timeline.
*User Interface - Enjoy Legacy's modernized look-and-feel, new color schemes, and new ribbon menu bar. Add two additional custom buttons on the new My Toolbar.
*Tagging - View up to 9 tags at once. Advanced Tagging now shows the counts of each tag.
*Automatic Sorting - Children, marriages, and events are now automatically chronologically sorted as they are added. New global sorting tools are also now available.
*Statistics - Understand your family in new ways with dozens of new statistics: births by era, longest living individuals, average lifespan, longest marriages, families with the most children, most popular given names, most popular surnames, most popular locations and more.
*Media Relinker - It is easier than ever to locate missing or unlinked pictures. Moving from one computer to another is simpler to do.
*Media Gatherer - Got pictures all over your computer? The new Media Gatherer will help you copy or move your genealogy pictures to one common folder, making it easier to share your family file with another computer or family member.
*Web Links - Found evidence of your ancestor online? Easily add a web link to their media gallery to organize a list of their online presence.

Legacy layout allows easy input of information. Customisation permits much variation of the screen and print format. High flexibility to print out information in so many ways other than just the many standard reports which include ancestor and descendant book format. Maiden names plus married names is a bonus with a large database. Simple query system allows for complicated questions. Any Legacy query or problem will be answered y the Support team quickly, usually within a day or so. The incorporated Help system is very good, in addition the DeLuxe program comes with an excellent printed Guide book, something other programs do not provide within the price. Whilst the family tree charts are satisfactory they are perhaps not the best .

Very straightforward to install, good range of extra features over and above the free standard version, and excellent to have a printed guide to refer to. Chart feature produces lovely family trees, though would be even better if it automatically included multiple spouses and their children rather than just putting in one line.
