We have returned from our 13th annual Legacy Genealogy Cruise and had the time of our lives! We sailed on board Royal Caribbean's Radiance of the Seas for 7 days throughout beautiful Alaska.
We saw glaciers…
…and waterfalls.
We saw wildlife in the ocean…
…and in the sky.
We enjoyed pool…
…and lots of ice cream.
We found cemeteries…
and of course learned lots in classes…
And to top it off, I made an exciting genealogy discovery while waiting for my flight home.
We ended the classes as we always do by drawing lots of names for door prizes. We then announced that all Legacy cruisers would get a free annual webinar membership and a free copy of Legacy 9 (whenever it's released…). Thanks to all of you who joined us! Thanks to all the rest of our Legacy Family Tree staff who kept our Support, Customer service, and Shipping departments open while we were away. And thanks to our cruise coordinator, Christy, for all she did for us too!

Back to work
Now that I've officially announced our return, it's back to work! We've got great things planned for our Legacy Family Tree software and for our webinar series. I LOVE my job!
Hi, I am a longtime Legacy user. I also founded the Cork Genealogical Society in 1994 here in Cork Ireland. Down the road is a place called Cobh in Cork Harbour from whence many, many emigrants left Ireland forever, to make a new life for themselves in your country. What I am getting at is :- why not a cruise to Cobh Ireland where many other cruise ships come and enjoy the incredible Heritage centre there that is so nostalgic and informative for so many Irish Americans. The Cork Genealogical Society including myself, I am sure would gladly help to show you all the sights including the famed Blarney Castle of the region and maybe we could organise a special genealogical meeting to meet the needs of the cruise members? There is much more we could do. I have recently published my family history with the aid of Legacy 1680 to 2016. We would love to have you. Hoping to hear positive from you. Declan Chalmers
