Oh, thank God another person with my same sentiments. I was beginning to wonder if researching techniques have left me in the dust and that the intricacies of DNA mapping was something I was going to have to learn. I had a hard enough time with the switch to dial telephones, and then I had to leave DOS and learn to live with a GUI. ;-)
In the past, I've long complained about the lackluster HTML creation from within Legacy until someone pointed out that Legacy was first and foremost designed and intended as a genealogical database. The provisions for HTML creation were merely extra features used by a minority of users and therefore additional programming efforts were not anywhere near the top of the list of things to be improved upon in Legacy. I feel that ability to provide DNA events from within Legacy lies in that same realm. Each individual user that wishes that type of data included with a family file can certainly accomplish it via other means such as user created events and the shared event methodology.

There is also plenty of room for notes. And, wouldn't this be an ideal use for a Shared Event? To me, DNA has no real place in genealogy. As a tool for confirming or disproving paper records, yes, DNA has a place, but as the be-all and end-all of genealogy - no! -- Regards, Mike Fry (Jhb) 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).
