I also find the DNA part of legacy all too intrusive. In my family we have a few adopted members and they are with all purposes as much as a part of this family as i am.

Dave, I have some sympathy with your point of view and the request for some of the features to be optional has been made before. I do have some American and Canadian relatives in my tree but my use of Legacy for searching these is limited and the DNA part I am not likely to use at all (it seems to be too intrusive to be quite British!). Although the size of the program is not yet overwhelming, I have just checked and my Legacy file is in excess of 1 GB excluding pictures although much of this is due to web pages. This is before the latest update which I have yet to download and at some time I guess I will receach a limit. Just as a matter of interest you are not related to any Aitchison's in Hastings are you? I'm not but a friend with that name lived there.
