Re: [LegacyUG] Single parent and adoption

[Helen Gillespie]

Am not that familiar with this nut in the Child settings, i think there is a 
selection for adoption so i suppose that would help explain status?

Try this:  Add the child as a new unlinked individual, then go to the unmarried 
adopting parent and “link to an existing Son/Daughter”.  Now click on the 
Marriage section for the adopting parent and check the box saying no evidence 
of marriage.  The report should say Parent has a child with no mention of a 
relationship.  Worked for me.

If an unmarried person has a child, Legacy rightly assumes there was a
man involved and there is the option to use the phrase "had a
relationship with" or something similar.  However, what if a single
woman (or man, come to that) adopts a child?  How can one "attach" the
child to the mother (or father) but avoid any indication of a second
parent being involved?  I tried checking the "did not marry" box and
deleting the wording "had a relationship with" but Legacy just puts "had
a relationship with" back, even when I tried just putting a couple of
spaces in the wording box.

[LegacyUG] Single parent and adoption

[Jenny M Benson]

If an unmarried person has a child, Legacy rightly assumes there was a 
man involved and there is the option to use the phrase "had a 
relationship with" or something similar.  However, what if a single 
woman (or man, come to that) adopts a child?  How can one "attach" the 
child to the mother (or father) but avoid any indication of a second 
parent being involved?  I tried checking the "did not marry" box and 
deleting the wording "had a relationship with" but Legacy just puts "had

Thanks to everyone who has responded to my query.  It has now been 
pointed out to me (off-list) that there is the facility to change the 
wording of what is usually the Marriage event, so I have done that 
rather than create an Event.

What word would other LUGgers use in the following circumstance.  I want to
create a sentence for a Civil Partnership Event which reads:

Civil Partnership:  on 16 March 2021 she ... Jane Doe.

I know how to set up the Sentence (the name of the partner will be entered
in the Desc field) but it's the wording in place of ... that I am wondering
about.

The person who told me about this partnership of his relative said they
"married" (his inverted commas) and I originally wrote that, but now that
marriage of same sex couples is allowed (in some countries) I don't want to
use that word for a Civil Partnership.  I could say "was partnered with" but
it's a bit repetitive when the Sentence begins with the title "Civil
Partnership."

Not sure if I got the replaceable text field names correct but you can 
use the correct ones to get a sentence reading "Jane entered into a 
civil partnership with Sally Ride on 16 Mar 2021 in Swindon, Wiltshire, 
England. In a list of Events the sentences will alternate the person's 
first name with He or She based on gender of the person. That gives a 
little variation to break up the monotony.


The thing is that I have a standard format for all my Events, which is 
always [EventName]: followed by [onDate] then usually [Desc] with other 
standard text slotted in as required.  So my Sentence for a CP is


«b»[EventName]«/b»:  [onDate] [HeShe] ... [Desc].[Sources][CR][Notes]

Originally I had "was 'married' to" in the place of the ... but that is 
no longer appropriate.

I had thought that was a common law union.  Not sure why it matters who
linked the two together.

Re: [LegacyUG] Civil Partnership

[Linda Greethurst]

perhaps call it Lifetime Committment; or Life Companion

Either would signify more than a casual encounter or agreement to living
together.
