I think that is the magic answer….namely, clearing relationships before re-setting them. I just did my test child once again with an unknown gender. The part that I don’t like is that when viewing this unknown gender child in Family View, he/she defaults to being called a SON by Legacy. Well, what else could you call a child with an unknown gender. It’s either SON or DAUGHTER and one or the other is going to be wrong. The programmers made their 50-50 choice and call he/she a SON. I then cleared relationship and re-set them once again. No change as expected to the unknown gender child but still called a son. I then changed the gender from unknown to FEMALE. Now here is where the OPs problem comes up. If you only run re-set relationships without clearing them first, this daughter will remain being called a SON. However, if you clear relationships first and then re-set the relationships, then the daughter is now correctly identified as DAUGHTER in the Family View. So you are correct. You must/should clear relationships first. I have to admit that I have been very lax in this. Probably because the time involved in re-setting relationships on my very large file takes so long that I didn’t want to involve another step in the process. But clearing relationships takes only a second or two. I don’t think there is any bug in the program. It’s just that when users cut corners in using the tools of the programs, then the results can be unpredictable. Memo to self / Clear and then re-set !

To make absolutely sure you could set them to someone completely different and then come back and set them to your normal person. Cathy Donna Newell wrote: Thanks for the input everyone. I am encouraged that someone else was able to duplicate my query. I ran relationships a number of ways and the problem persisted. I will go back to the name list and look at all my italic entries, but that won't catch the ones that I found the correct gender identification though, I will probably have to simply go through each one. They didn't show up as a problem either. Thanks again.

A few relationships auto update as you add people but most don't. Cathy Brian Lightfoot wrote: More info. My unknown gender child described as a SON remained a SON even after I Set Relationships. Out of curiosity, I changed the gender to male. Description in Family View remained a Son. I reran Set Relationships and it remained a son. I then changed the child back to female and reran Set Relationships. Yea, Legacy finally figured it out and changed the description to the correct term of Daughter. I'll let the programmer's figure out the logic or lack thereof. :-) Brian -----Original Message----- From: LegacyUserGroup [mailto:legacyusergroup-bounces @legacyusers.com] On Behalf Of Donna Newell Sent: Friday, September 2, 2016 5:16 PM To: 'Legacy User Group' Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] miss labeling of individual Thanks everyone for the assistance. The radio button was listed as female. I had originally put her in as an unknown sex because I only knew the mother had x number of children and I didn't know the sex of two of them. I changed it to female when I found out the correct sex and the name. I tried check/repair, it did not fix the problem. I took a little nap and came up with totally deleting the individual and putting her back in. Made FGS and copied the notes. Put her in as the correct sex with everything that was in there before. That fixed the problem. I had one other child listed as an unknown, so I went in and did an experiment, I changed that one to a female, and low and behold she was listed the same way as the first, as an uncle. For some reason Legacy is not recognizing the sex switch for unknown sex to the sex you subsequently choose. I have done this on others, I just don't remember the ones I did it to right now, and had gone in and changed the sex when I knew what they were. I will have to look carefully at the children now when I make such a change. Go ahead and try the experiment. Put in a child of unknown sex to a family, then change it to female and look at the relationship label that comes up. I am running 8.0.0.559 I will make the update this evening to 8.0.0.566.

If you inadvertently added her in on the left side, Legacy would automatically assume she was a male. If so, I think you can unlink her from the family as a son, then relink her as a daughter.
