Add standardized locations to FamilySearch. This screen now appears when you are sharing information with FamilySearch's Family Tree and your place doesn't match one of their standardized places. You can choose to "map" yours to theirs, or leave it as is. Learn more about how Legacy can synchronize your data with FamilySearch here.

Research Guidance. Legacy's exclusive, built-in Research Guidance, takes a look at what you already know about an ancestor, then gives you a prioritized list of research links and suggestions – all based on when and where your ancestor lived. Beginners love the guidance; experienced researchers love the checklist as a way to not overlook potential sources. Below is the list of new and updated Research Guidance sources added in this update. Click here for an overview of using Research Guidance.
