I could care less about this feature in File Transfers and until Legacy gets it fixed in regard to families with only 1 biological parent, I guess I just won't use the feature. Why would I want to put a bunch of "unknown" people in my database just so I can use this feature? It's just not that important to me, so I'll continue to use the Child Status indictor and use notes to explain, and leave that bunch of "unknown" people out of my database.
It's just a shame that this problem has existed since before Legacy 5 could be purchased and still nothing has been done about it. Debbie Schnell Woolard Want a Gmail account?

Seems to be a problem with single parent family in Legacy 5. Added your examples to a test file Apr 14 Legacy 5 and had the same results on my computer with WinXP Pro & If file transfers are important, a child needs two parents with bio relationships. Non-bio parents are best explained in notes. Genealogy programs use different GEDCOM tags for child-parent relationships and they are often wrong after transfers. -- Elizabeth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debbie Schnell Woolard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, April 25, 2005 2:20 PM > Back when version 5 beta was opened to the mailing list to try out, I > discovered a problem with child-parent relationships "bleeding" over to > the > spouse.
