I KNOW I am committing one of the lists unpardonable sins by hijacking a thread but really DO feel the previous topic had surpassed its useful life.. I still think that's a decision you make at the outset....are you doing family history or genealogy...although I admit that I have changed my mind sometimes when the family history becomes particularly intriguing. I also tend to change my mind on the subject when I find many intermarriages between families....then I just CAN'T resist the temptation to find out more ..It is family history AND genealogy in my case...and I rather enjoy the sounds of the skeletons hanging in the closet

How do you record the child(ren) of a heterosexual couple who used a sperm donor? No different Than how you would record the child(ren) of gay couples. One of the parents is not biological. Certainly I have adopted children in my database. Probably within my lifetime they will marry and there's no bloodlines there at all. Should I stop recording at that point? Should I kick them out right now because they're mucking up the 'purity' of my bloodlines? --- JL Beeken JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog/ 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).
