My use of Legacy and social media (new to this LVUG community).

I joined LVUG some time ago (2 Years?) and have been using Legacy much longer than that. Current version is Legacy 8.0 deluxe. I'm a firm believer in 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' so seldom upgrade to new versions. I 'inherited' a freebie copy along with a database of one line of my family back in the early 2000's and switched from whatever I was using at the time (something free downloaded from the internet I'm sure!). The initial database was my Pott{i,e}nger line which has been pretty thoroughly researched for many years by many genealogists both amateur and professional so I didn't bother to do much with that other than update it with my own immediate family. When I retired in 2003 I decided to learn who all my great grandparents were (I knew most but not all and grew up down the street from two). I've learned that and much much more. We're currently working on my LEE line (no, not THOSE Lees!) and that has been a REAL adventure...
