They are entered like: John X-Qpublic married Jane X-Doe.I even have my dogs this way: Cocoa X-Duncan. The X helps me find the record and since they are all marked private, they do not appear when I submit my data and to make sure all do not show on the submitted stuff, I just go check for surnames beginning with an "X". A recent search gave me parents and siblings of an old acquaintance, no vital to my search for blood relatives but a way to rest from my INTENSE search and I still get a thrill when I hit pay-dirt, blood related or not. In my habit of doing this, I have found LEGACY has helped me to keep data on lives other than that of my real blood relatives, better than any othere program that I have ever had, ever!!! My other prefix is for the 19 caregivers that we have had since a massive stroke slowed me down a bit in 1998, they are listed thus: CG-Orphan Annie [CG # 6] this aids me in keeping track of them for future reference [CG stands for Caregiver] Hope this helps some one. http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=purplevw1&id=I652 55 "The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see."

I currently use Events for these (Grandfather's Clock - Owner being one) and attach them to the relevant people. Listing as Children for non relatives seems more confusing to me, but I agree that Events are not quite right either. Perhaps some day there will be a list of "Things and people of importance to the family" to which we can link our Legacy relatives Cary [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** Give the gift of Legacy for the holidays!
