I celebrated another birthday on the first of this month. I had been thinking for some time about taking the plunge and springing for a Legacy Webinar membership. I've really enjoyed watching the webinars over the past couple of years. I especially like viewing them during the free week, when I can pause to take notes as often as I want. It's the main reason that I prefer seeing them after the initial live airing. I was, however, missing out on all of those great bonus webinars. The only question was when I would buy my first membership.
A few days later, the genealogy world was rocked by the news that My Heritage had acquired Millennial Corporation, the parent company of both Legacy Family Tree Webinars and Legacy Family Tree Software. Initially it seems to be a mutually beneficial deal for both the companies involved and for the consumers. We'll see how that shakes out over time.
The big news from my perspective is the half price sale that's going on right now for both the webinar membership and the Legacy 9 software. With the added push of Thomas MacEntee's discount codes, I finally took the plunge last Saturday. I'm now a webinar subscriber, as well as the Deluxe version of Legacy9!!!
The first webinar this subscriber viewed was Judy G. Russell's excellent "A Taxing Matter: Using Tax Lists in Genealogy". It's nice having the free syllabus and chat log, but that won't stop me from pausing the webinar to take notes. What I'm really looking forward to is to see all of those older webinars from my pre-webinar days, as well as the bonus webinars.
I'm the meantime, I will download Legacy 9 in the near future. I have been using Legacy 8 standard for a few years now, mostly as a backup for my older FTM program. I look forward to exploring the bells and whistles in Legacy 9 deluxe. There's some webinars out there, I hear, that just might be helpful!
I've lately noticed an increasing number of blogs have added a closing statement to comply with FTC guidelines for affiliate relationships. Here is mine. I have no affiliation with any genealogy business, beyond my use of their products and services. I don't foresee this status changing any time soon.
