Re: [LegacyUG] Same gender marriage???
Clarify for me please. Joshua's comment implies the church controls Legacy. I understand the people at Legacy (and some other gen software) are at least predominately church members but I thought the software was independent and not a church product.

Re: [LegacyUG] Same gender marriage???
That's correct Cheryl. Legacy is not owned nor controlled by the church. Not only would it require extensive re-writing of Legacy's code to allow same-sex relationships, there would also be a ripple effect that would affect several of the Legacy add-on programs made by other companies.

As with any company, the personal values and religious beliefs of the owners influence how the company operates. It is Legacy’s prerogative to not have same sex marriages within the program. If this is a problem for anyone then they can use another software program that doesn’t have this limitation.

RE: [LegacyUG] Same gender marriage???
Legacy won't let you do a same sex marriage or partnership. This may change in a future version of Legacy, but version 8.0. There is a work-around. Before you start, backup the family file. The first steps are exactly what you do when entering a straight couple. The change in sex is made in Microsoft Access. After adding the couple in Legacy (one will be male the other female), make note of their RIN numbers and close the program. Next open the file in Microsoft Access. Here are the steps: 1. Start MS Access. 2. Click on File and select Open. 3. Type *.fdb in the File name field at the bottom of the window and press Enter on the keyboard.

Re: [LegacyUG] Same gender marriage???
Barry sent Unfortunately when File Maintenance, Check/Repair is run following the Access work around as Jim suggests, the Gender reverts back to the original setting. BNH Another alternative to Jim's, not using Access. In this case when you run File Maintenance, Chech/Repair husband and wife are replaced by Male/Male or Female/Female and does not revert back. These are my notes from my report at a past LUG (Melbourne Australia) meeting re same sex partners in Legacy. Enter both partners in male and female positions in Family View. You now need to change one partner’s gender, for instance the one designated Female that you want to change to Male. Click the marriage information bar for the pair and remove “replace wife’s married name with husband’s surnameâ€. Go to Wording Options and replace Husband and Wife on the first line (Family View) for Male and Male (or Female and Female). Then override the middle section of the next line that reads “married “ with “has (or had) a partnerâ€. If you need to cover a second relationship insert “next had a relationship with†instead of “next marriedâ€. At the bottom substitute “Partner†and “Partnership†for “Spouse†and “Marriageâ€. Make sure you click Save. We found we needed to insert Partnership in the location field for the word to appear as Partnership instead of Marriage Information in the Family View but is better to leave it out for Ancestor report. Unfortunately partnership will appear in your Location List and has to be ignored! Certainly not a perfect solution. To prevent “she/he†creeping in instead of “he/she†for some reports and charts, edit the event sentence definitions to use [FirstName] instead of [He/She], that would get rid of some of the problems - or use Sentence Override so sentences for others are not affected. This addition was supplied by Cathy in Western Australia. She usually uses [FirstHeShe] in Event Sentence Definitions so that the First Name alternates with the pronoun in reports. Note also in a Family Chart you still get Husband and Wife – not Partners. However, the Descendant Chart seems to work and the Family View is acceptable.
