I had a similar situation with one of my ancestors, and I recorded them as Michele suggested. For recording purposes, they were born with a specific gender and name, and all source documentation (Birth Certificates, Census, etc.) supports those facts. The change to their gender and/or name occurred as an event during their life time, therefore, I recorded them as such. I don't know if this is the correct way, or not, it's just the way that I chose to record them.

I would have them in my database as the sex they were born. I would put the name change and the sex change as an event or in the notes. michele Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
