This question is about the Legacy Backgrounds. I don't see anything there and if it's been posted here I apologize for missing it. The backgrounds give bonuses during character creation to abilities, skills, and some skill feats. Do these stack with the bonuses that are a normal part of the ABC creation process?
I'm assuming the abilities must since they are phrased in the same way as any other ability boost given in the Core Rules. The skills and skill feats are less clear to me. If you're already Trained in a skill, does the legacy mean you're Experienced or do you have to apply the skill to one you're untrained in? The same with the skill feats. Thanks in advance

Legacy backgrounds are simple alternate (uncommon) backgrounds that if you have access via playing the requisite number of scenarios from that seasons you gain access to. To use in place of a normal background -- you select one of these as your 'B' in the ABCs.
And skill proficiency never stacks (unless it says it does like a few of the newer archetypes). Most classes have a clause that if you already gave skill "X" become trained in a skill of your choice. Backgrounds don't have that clause, because you only get one background, and its the first thing that gives you training in something.

Otherwise...
Each time after the first that you would gain the trained proficiency rank in a given skill, you instead allocate the trained proficiency to any other skill of your choice.
So if your Class, Background, Ancestry or anything else during character creation granted you Trained Proficiency in the same skill, you instead just select another skill.
