Not only in how we will define our families in our pedigree charts but how will the census in future years define our family. I posted about this very topic back in Dec.

It is one of the things that I love about FTB.<br /><br />@Lynn - Today's family really is ever changing and hopefully the family tree programs will keep up. One thing I wish genealogy programs will add would be a "raised by" label, which will be more and more important in the years ahead as grandparents, Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15483136317329166274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4889101067611379117.post-69352037804241647782010-02-04T16:10:19.581-08:002010-02-04T16:10:19.581-08:00Very interesting, Elyse!

I use PAF and honestly love the simplicity of it, but there's no possible way you can do same-sex marriages in this program. The LDS do not approve of same-sex marriages. As much as I love all the efforts of the LDS in the genealogical world, they're unfortunately very supportive (as in donations) for Prop. 8 in Cali.
