MyHeritage.com Acquires Legacy Family Tree

One of FamilySearch's partner products has been acquired by another! As Family History Center workers we should be knowledgeable of both. 

I recently received this email from Daniel Horowitz, of MyHeritage.com 

There was no mention of how this will affect MyHeritage's own free desktop software Family Tree Builder. https://www.myheritage.com/family-tree-builder

Dear Bill

We extend a warm welcome to Dave, Ken, Geoff, Luc and the rest of the Legacy team who are joining the growing MyHeritage team, and we look forward to the road ahead, as we work together to make family history easier and more accessible for everyone.
