Frequently Asked Questions
Legacy Trek is a software-powered family history platform that helps you write memoirs, document ancestors, and create eulogies. You answer questions about your life and family, and our software turns your answers into polished, book-quality narratives.
Not at all. Just share your memories in your own words — bullet points, sentence fragments, or full paragraphs all work. The software handles the storytelling and polished prose. You can always edit the result afterward.
That's exactly what the Virtual Family History Consultant is for. Click the Help button on any question and our research assistant will guide you step-by-step through finding information in free public genealogy records. It even shows you visual guides for navigating the records.
You do. Your stories, memories, and documents are yours. We don't sell your data, use it for advertising, or train models on your personal content. See our Terms of Service for full details.
Yes. You can download your memoir as a formatted PDF in multiple paper sizes (Letter, Trade, or Hardcover). You can also add a professional audiobook narration — a paid add-on — with your choice of voice.
Absolutely. Every memoir goes through a full-featured editor where you can change wording, rearrange content, adjust photos, change fonts, and regenerate individual sections. The software gives you a starting point — the final product is entirely in your hands.
Yes. In Roots Chronicles you can connect your FamilySearch.org account, browse
your family tree right inside Legacy Trek, and import ancestors — names,
dates, places, photos, and written memories — straight into your book.
No. Legacy Trek is an independent product. We recommend FamilySearch.org because it is the world's largest free genealogy platform, but we are not affiliated with FamilySearch or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in any way.
