Now that 24,000,000 U.S. World War I Draft Registration Cards are

If yes, is it possible that we can be told in advance how the event
is defined and what it is named?

Arnold, that is an event that only occurs in the USA, unlike a census
event, so as much as Legacy is USA-centric, I don't think they would
add it, especially since there are three forms, each with different
amounts of data.
I use the draft card for evidence of employment, residence, family

All you are asking for here is for Legacy to include WW1 Draft Registration as
a default Event. There is absolutely no need for them to do this, or if they do
for it to make any difference at all. You can add this as an Event yourself via

I consider them to be both an event and a source. The fact that someone
went to a draft board and filled out the registration form is an event
to me. The actual document itself is a source for any information
Tom,
That is debateable. Registration for National Service is as much an Event as a
census, as one personally had to go and register (at least in the UK).

Arnold,
Yes, the new Legacy Family Tree 7.0 will accept draft registration as an
Event. The draft registration cards are an invaluable source of
information about a person's birth, race, key family relationships (such
as spouse or parents) and place of residence.
I record the registration as an

Hi Jon,
I'd use Privacy brackets. That makes it easy to not include them in
written reports or in Gedcoms sent to others. I wouldn't send on any

Ron,
What a great suggestion. I had forgotten about that.
Legacy is so flexible!

However, in both cases, the resulting document is a source for other

I think it's interesting that you use the term family history. I think
there's a difference between genealogy and family history which might
partially explain the vast difference in database sizes.

A Military event is not 100 percent accurate, since not
everyone who filled out/completed the registration card
actually served in the Military.
It however, is still a great source for finding birth date
and location on some, resident, occupation, physical
description, and nearest relative info.
Jim,
I know of no totally satisfactory way of of overcoming this difficulty. You
have mentioned one way and I can only suggest two others. One is simply to
include the grandchild in the grandparents notes with all relevant information.
This means, of course, that the grandchild is pretty

To add on a bit - I have two databases, my family and
my husband's. Since I don't have any children, his

Well you could add her as an unlinked individual but I wouldn't think
that would solve your problem. She'd certainly be floating but
wouldn't appear in any reports.
If you don't want to add mother of Sarah, then the other
alternative is to choose the most likely mother and add notes
I totally agree.

Thanks Ron...
Both the same issues. I agree, and I really don't want to have something set
on the side that I'll never remember the reason why I put the data there.
I've become so overwhelmed with the size of this family that I would like to
have the facility of a direct or indirect connect
My preferred answer would be a daughter who falls in the gap between Anne
at 18 and Emma at 23 - especially since the others were born 2 years apart
and Sarah Jane's last name is different. Sarah Jane may only have been
staying with her grandmother for a few days.
This is where a 10 years
Another option is to attach the grandchild directly to the
grandparents. View Children List, change the status settings of the
child - you can add a category called Grandchild. In reports, if you
include Child Status, then it will show it in parenthesis.
The downside is that generationally, in
