Today I learnt of a distant relative who was in a legal registered civil relationship with a person of the same sex. I then started to look how this could be entered into Legacy. What I've read, and I would like members to confirm this, is that Legacy 7.5 is not capable of handling this sort of relationship. Further, if I am to understand correctly, it is against the policy of the software publishers to allow Legacy to be record for such relationships or gender changes.
I would be most concerned if this is a policy decision and not just a technical problem. As in genealogy we record the records as they are and our own personal views and prejudices must override this. Some time ago, I found in the parish register, my great aunt who baptised her two illegitimate children who were born 12 years apart. I was horrified to see that the vicar had recorded occupation as, "A harlot", because this was official records I still recorded it as an occupation and put some notes alongside. I am hoping that some members can give me some reassurance and also how I can work around entering this relationship into legacy.
