Erik, In both of the cases you cited there is still a father, albeit an unknown one. You can of course submit a suggestion to the programmers to split this option here http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/suggest.asp If you make the suggestion this way it will get logged into our tracking system. I just did a search of the suggestions and I don’t see this one in there. (It is possible that I missed it. Sherry handles the suggestions and she can find things in there that I can’t see).

Another reason to split the attributes is that even though a person had a child, they still can have never married. Those two attributes CAN be mutually exclusive. I know that Legacy “assumes” there was a relationship that led to the child (and since it was a “relationship”, to Legacy the parents were “married”), however there are (at least) two distinct cases where a child was born and no relationship existed between the parents … in vitro fertilization where the father is an anonymous donor … and rape where the victim chooses to keep the child created by the act. In neither of these cases was there any type of “relationship”, there was simply a pregnancy and a birth.
