you're right, you didn't. Ron Munro did.
"I also find the DNA part of legacy all too intrusive. In my family we have a few adopted members and they are with all purposes as much as a part of this family as i am." -ron munro, salisbury, south australia -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave A Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2006 5:22 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: DNA research: was Re: [LegacyUG] The Americanisation of Legacy? Steve, Looking back through messages I have sent on this subject, I at no time have I said that DNA testing is intrusive. I believe that it is probably an important tool in genealogy but I would like the choice of whether the program I am using needs to have it included. If and when I decide to go down the DNA path it would be appealing to be able to go to the Legacy site and d/l a plug-in to enhance the program. Add-ons or Plug-ins are the way to go with this type of feature. These little used features hog resources.
