I would suggest using the term "Ethnicity" as that would cover all backgrounds besides just Caucasian, African, Asian, etc. Scottish, French, etc would be covered under ethnicity.
And please don't make the mistake of calling just *any* person of African descent as "African-American". A black person who was born and raised and lives in Africa, England or any other country is *not* an "African-American" <g> Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Thu, Jul 5, 2012 at 11:37 AM, Jenny M Benson <ge...@cedarbank.me.uk> wrote: > On 05/07/2012 19:28, Michele Lewis wrote: >> I just realized there is no place in Legacy to record a person's race <snip> > You could create a custom Fact/Event to cover this. > > -- > Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
