I am abounding with issues today! ugh. How do you all incorporate individuals that have no blood or family tie to your family, but yet hold significant value to your files?
I have a gentleman that has been with our family since the 1940's, yet is not related to us in any way. When my mother's father passed in 1968, he stepped in and helped my grandmother raise the remaining three kids at home, as well as tended to her daily until her death this past January. They were NOT engaged in a relationship outside friendship, they did not reside in the same home, etc. This gentleman was the best friend of my grandfather. Family consensus is that he MUST be included in the book I am working to put together, yet I haven't found a way yet to incorporate him into the reports since he is not directly linked to us in any way. (He even had a family of his own for quite a few years.) Is there a work around for this? My final thoughts on it are to export my family reports and then his report specifically to either word or PDF documents, and then combine them outside the Legacy system. I would, however, like to find a way to link him in the system, so that it will be intact during file sharing or future reports. Thoughts?
