Legacy Family Tree Genealogy
Software can be downloaded
for a free trial from Millennia
Corporation, Surprise, AZ 85374.
Family Tree Maker creates beautiful group sheets for printing
but they are graphical
and we cannot post them to our FGS Project. This sounds
like a lot of work and IS
for one group sheet but if you have many, it is worth
the time.
