We've got a busy couple of months ahead of us. We wish we could be all places at once (I guess we are trying – three separate events on February 26). We'd like to visit your genealogy society too. We often give Legacy classes or even full/half day seminars on genealogy technology topics. If you/your society is interested, let us know and we'll send details.
If we're not personally visiting your city soon, there still may be a Legacy User Group meeting in your area. See http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/UsersGroups.asp for a list of user groups around the world.
Here's where we'll be in the next couple of months:
