RE: [LegacyUG] Disproven Birth?
Hi Ron, Thanks for the encouragement. I've never done any creating of web pages -- I think that will remain above my ability level for some time! I've only just started playing with reports (and have ordered the Legacy video on reports). I'll try a bit more experimentation in the future -- problem is that I'm not sure what I want to accomplish yet!

Brian, I know that with Legacy it's a pretty steep learning curve, and one of the great things about it, which also steepens the curve, is its flexibility. when I first started I played and played to see what effects various ways of doing things would affect the presentations. As my main interest is in the web pages this meant spending a lot of time changing something, creating a web page, deciding whether I liked it and changing it if I didn't.

RE: [LegacyUG] Disproven Birth?
Hi Brian, I actually change the Alt Birth event to Disproven Birth. I don't add a new one. Then in that event's notes, I explain why I'm disproving it. For me, it's important to keep the Disproven Birth event in case I need it for research comparisons in the future. I also keep it in case other researchers claim their birth information is correct. If I retain the Disproven Birth information in my event/fact list, I can easily respond to them. Finally, I will often mark the Disproven Birth event as private, so in my polished reports, this event doesn't get in the way.

RE: [LegacyUG] Disproven Birth?
Hi Brian, I believe the reason for an event of Disproven Birth is to record what you have found and why. Generally this is used for an ancestor that often is listed with one birth but you have tracked down proof that you believe verifies the correct information. The 'disproven birth' event will then help remind you (and anyone else you might share your research with) that yes you have found a discrepancy in the birth data and an explanation as to why you think the information is wrong.
