Hi Rich, I'm not sure if you are talking about the NATU tag when you mentioned illegitimate or if you were referring to LEGA, but I think NATU is what you are referring to. There was a thread I commented on a few months ago where I mentioned all of the people in my GEDCOM were imported with the child-parent relationship set to Natural. I had asked why it wasn't automatically set to Natural when a new child was added to a parent. People on the list explained that Natural could sometimes be defined as illegitimate. But obviously if all of my people had that tag (and they were actually all quite legitimate at that point in my data gathering) then some other program was creating that setting automatically with no morality implied. Regardless, I simply commented below that the NATU Gedcom tag doesn't seem to relate to the parent-child setting. Unless Legacy imports from that tag into that relationship. I think Stuart can obtain the definitions, since he did define ASSO for us.
I actually didn't say for sure what ASSO is, I just tried to guess what it might mean based on what Stuart wrote. Your comment about Legacy importing the unknown codes in as tags - when does that happen? I can see it dumping the data into Notes, but even that I have no experience with. Does this happen with many GEDCOM codes? (Anyone can answer.) Susan On 12/18/06, RICHARD SCHULTHIES <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
IMHO, based on what you said ASSO is, Legacy does not have a parallel name. Legacy does not have an illegitimate tag, because "that is the parents fault?", not the kids. That title matters more to church and legal groups. If you export to Legacy including those tags, they will be created as tags in the program and/or notes. But not lost.
