Finally have to jump in here. While I agree that there are a myriad of
ways to describe what constitutes a "family", all I expect from a software
program is to be able to chart the relationships and link them together.
In my opinion Legacy already offers all of the options we need to label

Are you looking for something other than the marriage box where you can say
that the couple never married and separately you can say that they never had
children? We already have that on the upper left corner of the marriage
editing box. Or is there something else that you are referring to?

Perhaps a compromise is in order -- if Legacy can't bring itself to split
the two statements, at least it could say, " never married and had no
known children."

I may misunderstand the issue, but, from what I've seen, the problem is a
GEDCOM problem, not a Legacy problem. The aging GEDCOM model has only so
many fields for citations and dumps data from unrecognized fields in the

Legacy must create a "marriage" record whenever a child is added to a
parent, it doesn't mean that a real-world marriage actually occurred.

Hi Jenny,
Of course people are concerned about words. Words are how
we communicate, for the most part. Most words have
definitions that are accepted widely enough to be included

You should try exporting to a GEDCOM file a source or two to make sure it

But the single adoptive parent DOES have a child! That is what adoption is all
about. You are correct that perhaps that single adoptive parent did not
provide the sperm or egg for the child, but that person does have a child.

Y'all are making such a fuss. Do the other database programs have options
to have the relationship as domestic partner, lover, live-in boyfriend,
wife-wife, husband-husband etc? If so, then switch to one of those if it
