Susan,
I did not see a reset button, so I tried something else.
I created a new "fake" family file from scratch and noticed several more
events than I had. Somewhere along the line, I must have "purged unused" or
something like that. Anyway, under "option" I was able to import the list
from the
Nancy,
I have Legacy Deluxe 6.0. The name of the two events are:
God Father
and
God Mother
I wonder if you could add these events, then click on the word "reset"
to get all the definitions back? Because when I click on Edit Event
Sentence Definition and view Wording Options, there are eight optio
I think maybe my question has gotten lost in this discussion. I do not have
a "Godfather" or "Godmother" event in my event definitions list. If it was
one that was included in Legacy, I must have inadvertantly deleted it. If it
is one that someone here has created and shared, I missed that. Woul
Hi Pat,

This is what I have done to define this information in my database -
The child's baptism is defined in the Baptism "event" under Personal
Information. This includes the date and location.
If the godparents are in the database because they are family members,
then a "Godfather" or "Godmother" ev
You've probably alredy tried this, but sometimes restarting your
computer "releases" these sorts of things. You might be able to
delete the remaining files immediately following a restart.

I don't think there will ever be a satisfactory resolution of this issue. I
can name at least two denominations that use "baptism" for what some call
"christening"...The United Church of Christ and the Presbyterian Church, USA.

Exactly - and that's why I wrote "usually" several times and "Definitions

I have been unable to open Legacy on my laptop yesterday and today (had a
problem closing it a couple days ago; I suppose that's what started the
problem).
So I went online and it seemed to me that what I need to do is to
"completely uninstall Legacy."
(Before doing any of this I ran my full
Thanks for this clarification. So it seems we should use the notes on this event (whichever we chose depending on religion?) to capture who the godparents are, and then use the Godfather/Godmother event to capture when an adult becomes a Godparent. Do I understand this correct?
However, if we do
I can attest to the fact that the Lutheran denomination uses the word
baptism and not christening, regardless of age.

In the Roman Catholic church, it is not referred to as a christening, but a
baptism. It usually occurs between a few weeks to a month or so after
birth, depending on the priest.

Have been enjoying Legacy since V2 and now on 6-D. Have not had a problem I
cannot attribute to my lack of computer skills or not going far enough in
the guide. As for its not being "perfect", 1/2 of us wouldn't know it and
the other half would find fault.

Thanks for the tip. I obviously didn't think that far (haven't gotten as far as exporting anything yet). But how can I then distinguish between 'Had a Godfather' and "Became a godfather"...
As in "The Godfather of Baby was John" and "John became the godfather of Baby"... when you export those two
I'm afraid "Baptism" & "Christening" are only in Christian context... but 'godparents' is more universal and applies to other religions or non-religious families as well...
