Come to think of it, when FH first started doing this 'matching' thing they linked up with My Heritage.  Almost everything MH suggested was US-based, despite every person in my tree having lived and died in England.  It was a useless nuisance and I turned it off.

I guess it wasn't a popular feature!  At least the FindMyPast suggestions are in the right country (so far!).

Briefly, I did download the FH program and loaded it with my gedcom. It wouldn't load my family file from Legacy, it does not have the facility to do so. I spent several days watching video tutorials and trying it out but I kept returning to Legacy. I found FH to be 'quirky', probably because it is so different to Legacy which I have used over many years. Sad to say I won't be buying FH so I am stuck with Legacy for the duration! I am sure if it was the other way around, I would also find Legacy 'quirky'!

Have a look at RootsMagic. I believe it is similar to Legacy.
