Nothing Joe. Just no way to officially show Homosexual relationships. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Martin Sent: Saturday, September 08, 2007 12:27 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: RE: Legacy: Family History or Genealogy? - was Re: [LegacyUG] Homosexual Entries
Wayne, What prevents a Legacy user from utilizing Legacy's current features to construct a family history including Homosexual relatives?

However, I believe that most people are inclusive and want to include everybody -and I mean everybody - in their family. If Millenia continues to stall about making modifications to include gays, they will lose these customers and Legacy eventually will become nothing more than a niche product. This is a poor business strategy. Personally, I have come to believe Millenia will never make the necessary modifications. This obstinance has not had much of an impact on me so I will continue to use Legacy because it is a very good program. I hope that doesn't change. _______________________________ Wayne Martell Victoria, BC, Canada ----- Original Message ----- From: joe Martin To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007 3:50 PM Subject: RE: Legacy: Family History or Genealogy? - was Re: [LegacyUG] Homosexual Entries Wayne, Your example of a Genealogy Program for purists would be what?

A Family History program can be used by everybody, including the purists; a Genealogy program can only be used by the purists. They would be foolish to limit their market any way. _______________________________ Wayne Martell Victoria, BC, Canada ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Anderson To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007 1:25 PM Subject: Legacy: Family History or Genealogy? - was Re: [LegacyUG] Homosexual Entries Leaving aside the discussions on the morality of homosexuality, which are immaterial to how such relationships (which exist) should be recorded, there is a more fundamental point raised. Should Legacy be developed along the lines of a Family History (FH) program or a Genealogical (Gen) program? My gut feel is that the 'FH' route will be much more complex with the associated development and maintenance costs and greater learning curve - and a higher price tag! There are many 'Gen' fixes and enhancements which we have already requested and which could fall by the wayside if the 'FH' side is developed. It might be a good idea to let Geoff get a feel for the direction that the majority of his user community would like to see developed (even if it doesn't follow my line of reasoning!) What do others think?
