Hello Rita and all the list members who have come up with some constructive ideas. This problem played on my mind as I was going to sleep but then on waking I have come to much the same idea as Rita, but I have made a slight variance. I have put the partner's name as female but immediately followin

As posted on the aus-legacy website, this is what I have done. 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 an

Robert, This comes up from time to time. Here is what I do and while it isn't perfect it works for me. Enter to same sex partner in the wife's position (if you are entering two men) and then go to the marriage screen and click on the "Wording Options" tab. From there you can change the label

"Today I learnt of a distant relative who was in a legal registered civil relationship with a person of the same sex. I then started to look how this could be entered into Legacy. What I've read, and I would like members to confirm this, is that Legacy 7.5 is not capable of handling this sort of re

Why don't you play with the sample tree that is included. Much safer you could also make your own sample and play with that importing and exporting it. I am a bit lazy so I probably would record a name like "Same Sex Partner" Smith Eliz On Sat, Dec 1, 2012 at 7:05 PM, Robert Fletcher wrote:

Thanks Doug, so what your saying if I import and edited GEDCOM that Legacy may import it with error. I must try that. I was referring to Baptisms the youngest boy was 5 and the older one 12 so I get the impression that some pressure may have been brought to dear. Robert... On 01/12/2012 23:54, Dou

Occasionally an import has gone wrong, and the sex of a partner has been the opposite of what it is supposed to be. Legacy doesn't refuse to import the detail, but gives a warning message. Doug. On Sat, 01 Dec 2012 23:12:43 + Robert Fletcher wrote: > Today I learnt of a distant relative who

Thanks Brian for your comment. This was in the early 1900s in Nottingham and my great aunt's occupation was a lace runner in the Lace Mill's. But that hasn't answered my basic question, how am I going to enter this same sex relationship. I never even considered such a thing before? What's also con

I knew that it wasn't possible, but I thought that Legacy was just a little "behind the times." Another small graphical program I use just to do quick look-ups, is similar, but development on that stopped some years ago. Here in Australia, a law allowing same-sex marriages didn't get through Parli

Before you let your own personal views and prejudices override the actions of the vicar, you should look up the historical use of the word harlot. Who knows perhaps the vicar may have entered exactly what he was told by your great aunt. And the use of the word harlot was probably a lot less deme
