"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. "
This has nothing to do with anyone's beliefs or policy preventing the program handling same-sex relationships, but everything to do with the way the database was constructed and the limitations that imposes. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg22703.html One way around the problem (there may be more, I don't recall right now) is to mark one of the people as the wrong sex - so one man is marked as a female, or vice versa. Put notes (or something) in place to advise this is what you've done in case your data is viewed by someone else or you forget what and why you did it. Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy 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).
