Michele, As Jenny said, create a custom Fact/Event. Please open the Individual's Information screen. The heading for the section under Birth, Death, etc. is titled "Events/Facts". You are right, Race and Etnicity are not Events but they are FACTS.

Your race isn't an event in your life. For now I am just writing it in the notes so that I know to take race into consideration when I am searching for records. Since census records always contain race I am surprised Legacy hasn't added a field for that.

You could create a custom Fact/Event to cover this. -- Jenny M Benson 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).
