Legacy’s Pedigree View just got a lot better. This view displays either four or five generations of one’s ancestors (right-click on its background to toggle this number). The Pedigree View makes it easy to see just how far back in time you’ve researched.
In addition to the pedigree, there are two boxes on the left side which show even more information about the highlighted individual. The top-left box shows the person’s spouses and children, and the lower-left box displays their siblings and additional information.
Having all this information on one screen is great, but for some Legacy users, it just feels a little cramped. We’ve listened to your requests, and are excited to let you know that we’ve made a couple of changes that we think you’ll enjoy.
The two informational boxes on the left can now be optionally removed, thus presenting a much cleaner and less-cramped Pedigree View. To remove the boxes, simply right-click anywhere in the Pedigree View’s background and click Hide Spouse/Child and Siblings lists.

If you want the boxes back, simply right-click on the background, and click Show Child/Spouse and Siblings lists.
To take advantage of this new enhancement, be sure that you download the latest update. The feature was added in version 6.0.0.117. Deluxe Edition users can easily update by clicking on the link in the Updates section of the Legacy Home tab. Standard edition users can update via our website at http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/DownloadUpdate.asp
One feature I would very much like to see included in a future Legacy upgrade, would be the facility to create a single book report of everyone in my tree, ancestors, descendants, the lot.
