Legacy - Changing the term Christening to Baptism

If you do not have a year in the birth section, you just have a christening date, when you upload a gedcom to the Family Tree Forum data base, those people will not appear. Unfortunately the database has been set up only to recognise the term Baptism, not Christening. The only way round that is to put a year in the birth space, but if you don’t know the birth year. That is not always possible. So the alternative is to change Legacy.
