Hello List, This is my two peneth worth.
Genealogy is the study of whom begat whom and whom resulted. To put it crudely whom had nookies with whom and what was the result. Wether the parties were legally married, defacto, having a one night stand, strangers, if the result was via artificial insemination, IVF, or turkey baster doesn't matter. The supplier of the egg is the mother and the and the producer of the sperm is the father. full stop end of story. This cannot be changed. Now who raises the child is of interest only. Family History is Uncle Harry played football was in the army and saved Winston Churchills life. Aunt Dorothy had a child by IVF with an egg donated by Peggy a professional supplier of eggs and raised it in company with George the bloke Dorothy met at the pub a month before. Cousin Georgina fell in love with and married Mary and stayed together for the rest of their life. Georgina is part of your genealogy, the marriage to Mary is merely of interest in the ongoing story of your family. Therefore the only requirement of a program like Legacy is to show the biological mother and father anything else is just of interest. Best regards.
