Two genealogy software products - Clooz (developed in the USA) and Custodian (developed in the UK) - have been available for many years and are event orientated software.
Each product starts with an event (for example, census, birth, death, or marriage record, etc). After recording the information about a record from the event (including source, location, and perhaps a digital copy), you then identify the people mentioned in that record and any identifying information about those people such as age, role in the event, etc. The entire record identifies events and the records associated with the event, with people identified by their involvement with the event. With Clooz you can even record information about a building, for example a house and record all the owners over time. Oh, you can import a list of people from your genealogy software so you can easily link already known people to an event and the records from that event. However, when you 'discover' a person identified on an event record who is not in your list you can easily add that not previously identified person. As for linking that information to Legacy, at least with Clooz you can export the information about the event and event record, along with any new people identified, into Legacy.
