Viewers' comments

  • These webinars are excellent. You learn so much more than just how to enter an obituary.
  • This was awesome — the live entries make a tremendous difference, and to have Geoff including questions and comments from participants as he goes along is a real bonus. They are often questions that have been going through my mind, and if they haven't, then they are "oh, right, why didn't I think of that", as the would have occurred to me later when the chance was gone. Keep up the great work!
  • I have learned more from these webinars than I could learn from books in a year.
  • Please keep these "Geoff Live Webinars" coming. Geoff is great and learning how someone else uses Legacy has been very helpful for me. I have gotten some great ideas and some I am implementing!
  • Loved hearing about the different short cuts on the data page.
  • It is so informative-the way Geoff shares his entries. Each move gives me confidence to work on my genealogy. He takes away the fear of doing something wrong. I can relax a bit-I won't wreck everything with the touch of a key.
  • I loved today's webinar! I'm a visual learner and need to see it being done to understand how to use all the wonderful feature's of Legacy. Please have more of these impromptu sessions and I'll be there!
  • Geoff covered so many tips and tricks about Legacy that I did not know.
  • While manuals can provide information on how to use the software, it is always better to see it used in the real world.

    I live in New Zealand and am looking at joining your webinar on 14 September. However, I’m having trouble working out the time. Your website advises the webinar commences 2pm EST – and suggests 6pm GMT as my viewing time here in NZ? However, should it not be 6am GMT?

    Sharon – you’re right, the webinars do require a higher speed Internet connection. If you are interested in any of the titles, many of them are available on CD in the online store which wouldn’t require your Internet connection to view.

    Diane – we have an entire webinar dedicated to the filing system methods. On the third of August, Karen Clifford will explain a paper filing system where you file your papers according to both surname and locality. I’ve implemented a similar filing system for my digital media as well. See http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/webinars.asp

    Geoff – Yes it is, I must be getting old as have been on computers since 1979 and with the new Windows 7 still don’t know all the features.
    Thanks

    I agree completely with other comments about how useful it is to see a “real” person entering “real” data and following the process. I learned a lot about shortcuts also.
    Question about the way you file (on your hard drive) source documents and photos. Why do you use a geographical filing system for documents? What are the pros and cons of that vs a lineage/person based system?
    I didn’t see what your folder structure is for photos – is it the same or is it family/person based. How do you file photos that have several persons of interest in them?
    Thanks

    Jack – since I had both Legacy and AniMap open, I just rotated between them using the Windows shortcut ALT-TAB. This is probably the small window of 5/6 icons that you were referring to.

    HI Geoff,
    I would like to know how you change from Legacy to Animap; it looks like you click on an area of Legacy?
    Also How do you bring up the small window with the 5 or 6 icons?
    Thank you,
    Jack Murray

    Webinars are useless when all I have is dial-up!

    Webinar is useless for me unless it is captioned because I am Deaf.
