As has been, stated many times, there are two distinct Family Search processes in operation, neither of which has anything to do with Legacy, other than the fact that through Legacy we will be able to access them.
One is for LDS members only and concerns registrations with LDS (I don't know the actual terms) and has nothing to do with the non-LDS users. This can be access by LDS members now. This not the same as being registered on the Family Search Site.
Ultimately the whole of the new Family Search - which has nothing to do with the Legacy usage above, will also be available through Legacy when finally released by Family Search. It is currently under test by LDS members. Some documents are already available through the Family Search website, via the URL I gave in a previous post.
The current IGI access via Legacy will, I guess, be phased out since it will be replaced by the new Family Search.
This is probably a simplified version of what is going on, but serves as a working model!
For Lelani & Florence - currently you cannot sign into LDS through Legacy. I tried the same thing and eventually contacted LDS who were very helpful. At this point you still need to sign into LDS independently of Legacy.
Hope this helps.
Thank you very much for the help! I will take all the advise and put it to good use! I too am still unable to search LDS through Legacy as Florence but it is easy to just open a tab and click a link anyway!
Thanks again,
Legacy 7.5.0.56 is out and has been for a while. If you have the deluxe version you can update from the Legacy Home Tab. You can always tell the current version by visiting the Legacy Website. The history of the updates can also be accessed from the Download Update page.
The password required for the IGI page is the one you used to register with Family Search and not your Legacy Password. However this search is rapidly becoming irrelevant by Family Search and I suggest that you use https://www.familysearch.org/ instead.
Is there any info about the latest update at Legacy (7.5.0.56). Legacy said it was going to write more about it but I haven't seen anything. Can anyone tell me what this update really did? I am concerned as I noticed that when I do a 'family search' through Legacy with the password etc, it states that Legacy is asking permission to 'see' my database and I NEVER get through to family search anyway even though I have signed up etc. So can anyone tell me what the update is all about and is it worth it? I recently went through a Legacy glitch and had to re-load everything (had backup) but it is frustrating!
As a second thought - where do you put the Cemetery listing?? I managed to get it on the family view screen but it won't print!? This has been a quirk of mine for a long time! I can't understand why it's more important to put the "burial date' on screen and not the cemetery!! Anyone have any thoughts about this?
Thanks- LeLani
