How to put same sex marriage in tree - *COMPLETED*
« on: Thursday 29 April 10 00:54 BST (UK) »
Hi There,

I have two people of the same sex in my tree who married after 1988 how do I put this in my family tree

I am not going to put names here as I do not want to unset the family

Both parties are now deceased to the marriage in NZ

Added  They are both male if that helps.
I use both Legacy and Gramps if that helps

Regards

I have Legacy, but no details for same sex marriage.  (Only this person had a relationship with...)
You do have a problem there, as the program has only male and female lines.  What Legacy program is yours?  Mine is 7.0, and there is nothing written in my book about same sex marriages.
The only other thing to do is contact legacy and ask them if any of their updated versions include same sex marriages.
I guess not a lot of people have came across this before, and I have a feeling Legacy has something to do with the Latter Day Saints, so this certainly will be a no go for them.

Hi Newbe,

I've no idea, never come across it in my tree yet ......  ;D

Unless you put one down as the wife  and other husband.    Just did a quick play around with myself, put my sex down as male, and the report said I was the son of so and so.

Cheers

That is just where the problem will happen, one will have to take the female role. You know which one would of preferred that without sounding bad?

Just enter "F" next to the name you are choosing for the wife, then when all is entered go back and change the "F" to "M".

ADDED:    Hopefully the report should read as:   Fred Blog married the son of ?

Thanks  for that. I see on Gramps there is also a civil union button as well

Am not used to Gramps but am still trying to work it out
