How to Access Violation Error Occurred In Legacy FamilySearch?
The first, thing you would need to do is update to the most recent version of Legacy if you are still using Legacy 8 or earlier.

This means that you can continue using the older version of Legacy without having FamilySearch. Besides, It is also that FamilySearch is adjusting the servers, and this can be the cause of the Access Violation issue that you’re facing in Legacy.
