This is an excellent post, you put into ...Thomas, <br /><br />This is an excellent post, you put into words what I have had in my head and was unable to express. <br /><br />My mother and father were never married, that has sort of haunted me in regards to genealogy. But outsiders do not understand why they never married. I do know the true story and I want my descendants to know the facts and not have to speculate. <br /><br />So with respect, I have included that information in my FTM program and will give meaning to their lives, then there will be no room for judgement or gossip, "just the facts ma'am". <br /><br />Thanks Thomas for sharing on a very important subject that is part of life!Ginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614538259404355973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-50719426047483176782008-04-12T18:55:00.000-05:002008-04-12T18:55:00.000-05:00It would be great to communicate further on this t...It would be great to communicate further on this topic - please find my email under View My Profile and let me know!Thomas MacEnteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925130637060406529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-39567997513575212392008-04-12T09:00:00.000-05:002008-04-12T09:00:00.000-05:00Schelly Dardashti forwarded your comment on my pre...Schelly Dardashti forwarded your comment on my presentation tomorrow here in San Diego. I, too, am sorry you can't attend. I am quite familiar with the LGBT community and am also adopted, so you can see that my concern with how non-traditional families are represented in family trees comes from several directions. Perhaps we can communicate further?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-76371982990868595872007-10-27T11:15:00.000-05:002007-10-27T11:15:00.000-05:00Hi, Thomas,Fascinating topic!

While I've only stumbled across one (hinted at) same-sex relationship in the family tree, there are multiple non-married opposite-sex relationships among close relatives that produced children in the last 30 years. At least FTM, which is not my favorite program, offers "John SMITH <B>met</B> Jane DOE" as a relationship description, but as you've mentioned, RootsMagic does not acknowledge relationship types apart from marriage.<BR/><BR/>Your blog is extremely interesting, and I've added it to my Google Reader.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Miriam Robbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12021845886261585678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-29803649272735270852007-10-25T11:27:00.000-05:002007-10-25T11:27:00.000-05:00Thanks Joy!!!Thanks Joy!!!Thomas MacEnteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925130637060406529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-12043849120777685932007-10-25T11:20:00.000-05:002007-10-25T11:20:00.000-05:00An excellent article on an important topic!An excellent article on an important topic!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07909175584899159266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077536894458666315.post-73570683874715700742007-10-20T09:02:00.000-05:002007-10-20T09:02:00.000-05:00A very interesting topic.
