Then that just may be a real reason for some people to go to a different product. I think that was a mistake the Legacy Rep should have NEVER made and hope not to many users read about this.
There is the same issue with gender changes, as most programs if any (at this time) that will show a gender change has been made. I think that ALL Family research programs are going to have to add these capabilities included within their programs. At one time we could not have any children without the showing of a marriage, but now most programs have marriage status of Partner, Friend and Other.

At a meeting in Dallas a few years ago, before the release of V 7.0, the Legacy rep stated that Legacy will never allow the capability of recording a same sex marriage. -----Original Message----- >From: Denis Xenos <[email protected]> >Sent: May 15, 2011 2:17 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] connecting a couple together? > >In 2007 I was helping with demos with Family Tree Maker, Brother's >Keeper, and Legacy.
