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,
There was no reply to this April 25 message in the Legacy archives. 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
