Genelines for Legacy:

It's about time!

Genelines is a timeline charting companion for Legacy that lets you place the names and events of your family's past into historical context. These unique charts set a new standard for family historians, allowing you to illustrate biographical or relationship information for individuals or ancestral groups in a meaningful way. You see their lives in time, in relation to each other, personal life events and the local, regional and world stage events they experienced.
