What Are Legacy Users Groups?
Legacy Users Groups can vary from email or telephone contact lists to organizations that meet regularly to conduct workshops, provide informative speakers, discuss problems and share solutions.
Legacy Users Groups can vary from email or telephone contact lists to organizations that meet regularly to conduct workshops, provide informative speakers, discuss problems and share solutions. Each Legacy Users Group determines its particular structure, goals, and officers. Although Legacy Family Tree does not sponsor or direct Legacy Users Groups, it does help interested persons make contact with groups or others who may want to form a group. Legacy Users Groups are run by volunteers and have no affiliation to Legacy Family Tree.
