There is no reason you cannot include non relatives in the DB. Then they can be attached to the Events. One thing IMHO is that some people imply/infer that the DB is messed up if there is more than one tree. Last time I looked I had a couple hundred trees. That is because I have included all persons living in a town in Norway, because of the intermarriages, and all the populace of a certain county in KY which has lost/never had the sale of family land in 1820. The names are missing from the indexes?? I also have listed all witnesses to baptisms/christenings for possible future match ups. I guess I don't understand what way, beyond Event connections you wish to have, for non-bloods?. About the Living indicator, it should be workable if you set the set to NO if lived over 1 year old (or 1 day). Even in a big DB, the number of people marked yes should be minimal. I am very sorry to hear someone is leaving, but maybe I have given enough of a suggestion to stick it out. BUT IT IS UP TO YOU. Rich in LA CA

Originally, I thought this ability would make it into the release of Legacy 5.0. It didn't. Ken explained it turned out to be more involved than anticipated but it was still on the drawing board. A couple of months later, Ken responded to another post regarding the ability to "link" participants to an event, and he indicated that this would happen and that it was a very important issue to them. Since this does not seem to be forthcoming in Legacy, (I don't want to wait for the eventual release of Legacy 6.0 and discover this still hasn't been addressed), therefore I am looking at transferring my Legacy data via Gedcom 5.5 to another program. One of the problems I am encountering is the use of Legacy's living indicator. Legacy's Living = N is transferring via Gedcom as a tag. How do I either turn off the automatic Living indicator, and change all of the "N"s to a blank, or at the very least, how do I omit this from transferring via Gedcom. Any ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
