Millennia, the publishers of Legacy Family Tree made the announcement earlier this week, that “New FamilySearch” integration is now available in Legacy Family Tree 7.4 (public pre-release).

The FamilySearch integration features are now available in version 7.4. The Update  is available in two versions, the Standard edition which is FREE, and the Deluxe edition which is US$29.95.

For the differences between the versions, check the “which version do you want to download” chart on the publisher’s site.

Anyone using Legacy Family Tree version 7 Standard, Deluxe or Platinum editions can update to version 7.4.  Click here for details on the release, and here to download the update.

Version 7.4 is certified in Access, Print, and Ordinance Status. This will allow you to:

• Match your Legacy individuals with FamilySearch individuals
• Combine potential duplicates that exist at FamilySearch
• View the real-time ordinance status of individuals
• Much more…

Please note: if you wish to purchase the Legacy 7.4 upgrade edition, you will have to buy it direct from the publisher’s in the US as it is not a product (Update) that we can sell.

Just keeping you informed, Version 7.5 will follow within the next month or so with more features.
