Hi Sonia,

Most genealogy programs are organized around recording offspring of heterosexual couples and so tracking genetic lines (that has always been the whole premise of genealogy).

Most programs such as Family Tree Maker have a notes section where you can record whatever additional facts about a person that do not fit into the standard mold, however.

   Great questions.



   Is there a genetic link?  I want to know, just as anyone wants to know about
   how hair color, eye color, lactose intolerance, toe length, and anything
   else  we can think of.  A connected question is - does anyone know any
   genealogy program that lets you enter a same sex married couple without
   gender references (The typical programs make you put in genders and lead one
   to being "husband" and the other "wife?"



   If people aren't comfortable discussing it, then no one can look to see if
   there is a common genetic thread.  As for my lines, I'm pretty sure that
   we're running above the expected 10% - at least on one side of the family.



   Thanks Don.

     this group as a whole on those responses.
     Am I being shouted down for asking questions. I was reminded by some good
