Basically, say if I have a match, 2nd cousin once removed, the common ancestor
is a Great uncle & his wife, this person matches on more than one chromosome
number and segments, we do Not know as of yet which is the match, is it the
uncle or his wife, someone married cousins way back. So this is a person I
don't know, maybe someone e-mails me months from now on a particular line or
maybe I'm scrolling through Legacy name list and open that person's file (which
in my setup is the Family Page), I'd like have something on that screen about
the DNA match, maybe DNA -Smith/Brown just something noting that her/his line
goes back to my common ancestor Smith/Brown. Obviously, to show on that
screen, it's going to be something I have entered from the Individual's
information screen.
I'm not wanting Legacy to keep tract of my DNA records, as I said in a previous
e-mail, I use One-Note for that and I've been very pleased with it), (others
use EverNote). I do add a DNA Event on some in Legacy, but I make those
"Private", so I've just decided One-Note is best for that. Yes, sometimes our
needs/wants change and I know that Legacy can't change with everyone's wants.
Thanks for at least responding.Syble

what you want to be able to show in Legacy. I have my autosomal DNA on
Ancestry, 23andMe and FTDNA and I also manage my husband’s, my mother’s and my
uncle’s autosomal DNA. I have countless matches on all three websites for all
of the different kits. I also have all of this uploaded to GEDMatch. This is
A LOT of data and a lot of matches that you can’t possibly enter into Legacy.
When you say “confirmed match” are you saying that you have a 2nd cousin match
on one of the DNA sites that you can show is truly a 2nd cousin using
documents? If that is the case there is no reason at all to do anything in
Legacy. You already have the person in your file as a 2nd cousin (or can add
them). Are you wanting something to show that DNA confirms what you already
have in Legacy? Some sort of checkbox or something? For example, I have my
uncle in my file already. Since I have his DNA he shows as a match to me on
the DNA websites. Are you wanting some way to indicate that DNA supports the
link that that you have already established? I am trying to narrow down what
you are asking for so that I can figure out if it is possible to do what you
are asking and if so, we can get it entered as a suggestion to the programmers.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Family view & Individual is not the same options
Kathy, Graham & Mike,I know how to do all of what you've suggested, but in
working with DNA you have y-DNA which is only the male line, so it would be
easy to do what you're speaking of, but autosomal DNA picks up all of your
lines to many lines back and so when I have a confirmed match and that's not
often or when I have a possible, which is very very often, I was wanting
something I could fill in on the Individual information screen, just as "Cause
of Death" where I can go to the Notes, choose Medical, type in just as I would
for "Cause of Death". I could choose the Tag option, but there's not enough,
you have at the least 32 lines of ancestors, it doubles each time it goes up a
generation. [Also I manage 4 different people's kits] I could use Research
notes or General notes, but I have 3 Legacy family files that include over
14,000 individuals, so it would take more time than I care to think about to go
back and redo all those, because some I have notes on and some I have Research
Notes. I thank ALL of you for your help, but I just see no answer for me, I
realize that when someone ask a question, you have no idea of their knowledge,
but God only knows how many hours, I spend typing all this information into
Legacy, and I haven't ask a question in a LONG time, in fact, I had dropped my
name from the forum, I miss having Ron to correspond to, and I'm sure you
Kathy may be a great advisor, but I hope with all this you can see why I was
offended. Until you get into DNA tests results and see maybe 1400 + matches
on a report and try to work with 3 DNA company test results, you can have no
idea as to the work. As it's been said on the DNA forum, "It's not for the
weary at heart". Basically, Legacy is great for adding genealogy records, but
I was trying to get it to do something it's not designed to do, and for that I
apologize. But, for those that are familiar with Ron Ferguson, he, too was
one to stretch Legacy to do what he wanted it to do, and he help so many of us
for years. Of course, he was much smarter and had been doing this years before
I came on the scene about 10 years ago. Thanks,Syble
