Syble, I am still not understanding exactly what you want to be able to show in Legacy. I have my autosomal DNA on Ancestry, 23andMe and FTDNA and I also manage my husband’s, my mother’s and my uncle’s autosomal DNA. I have countless matches on all three websites for all of the different kits. I also have all of this uploaded to GEDMatch. This is A LOT of data and a lot of matches that you can’t possibly enter into Legacy.
When you say “confirmed match” are you saying that you have a 2nd cousin match on one of the DNA sites that you can show is truly a 2nd cousin using documents? If that is the case there is no reason at all to do anything in Legacy. You already have the person in your file as a 2nd cousin (or can add them). Are you wanting something to show that DNA confirms what you already have in Legacy? Some sort of checkbox or something? For example, I have my uncle in my file already. Since I have his DNA he shows as a match to me on the DNA websites. Are you wanting some way to indicate that DNA supports the link that that you have already established? I am trying to narrow down what you are asking for so that I can figure out if it is possible to do what you are asking and if so, we can get it entered as a suggestion to the programmers.

I could choose the Tag option, but there's not enough, you have at the least 32 lines of ancestors, it doubles each time it goes up a generation. [Also I manage 4 different people's kits] I could use Research notes or General notes, but I have 3 Legacy family files that include over 14,000 individuals, so it would take more time than I care to think about to go back and redo all those, because some I have notes on and some I have Research Notes. I thank ALL of you for your help, but I just see no answer for me, I realize that when someone ask a question, you have no idea of their knowledge, but God only knows how many hours, I spend typing all this information into Legacy, and I haven't ask a question in a LONG time, in fact, I had dropped my name from the forum, I miss having Ron to correspond to, and I'm sure you Kathy may be a great advisor, but I hope with all this you can see why I was offended. Until you get into DNA tests results and see maybe 1400 + matches on a report and try to work with 3 DNA company test results, you can have no idea as to the work. As it's been said on the DNA forum, "It's not for the weary at heart". Basically, Legacy is great for adding genealogy records, but I was trying to get it to do something it's not designed to do, and for that I apologize. But, for those that are familiar with Ron Ferguson, he, too was one to stretch Legacy to do what he wanted it to do, and he help so many of us for years. Of course, he was much smarter and had been doing this years before I came on the scene about 10 years ago.
