EXCACTLY I'm with you and Legacy is a "Family Tree" program active marketed as being "the tool" for genealogy and family history, not a thoroughbred bloodline database. Can't see how you accurately do family history if the program will not accept the facts. I decry the gay lifestyle but it IS A FACT. I didn't like Hiroshima or Negasaki either but I don't refuse to acknowledge it because I don't like it.
If Legacy is to be a religious research tool then so be it but I've never seen it marketed as such. Seems we have genealogists & family historians in one corner and religious tracers of bloodlines in the other. What will be will be. BTW Thanks for the tip Rita in South Carolina, yours was one of the few replies that actually dealt with the question and I've adopted your suggestion. I suppose I could always relabel it to "unacceptable fact" (tongue in ckeek)..............:)))) -----Original Message----- From: JLB [mailto:j...@jgen.ws] Sent: Tuesday, 10 July 2012 1:28 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Same sex "marriage".
