enter them as unlinked.  If you find the proof later, then link them

How do you all handle such a situation?  Thanks for any guidance.

RE: [LegacyUG] Possible link to a family

2009-10-11 Thread Kirsten Bowman
Jane:

Most of the time I create a new folder for the person in XP and that's where
I stick all the relevant information and notes until something clicks.
These are all kept in a Stray folder under the appropriate surname.  With a
few, when I'm pretty sure where they go due to circumstantial evidence, I
attach them and add a note to the Name field saying that the link is
tentative.  I could put that note in the Relationship field(s), but then
it's buried in a string of source notes and I like to have it at the very
top.

I should like to know how others handle a possible link to a family.  I know
I can put the person and his family in as an unlinked person, but, because
of the given names used, there is a strong possibility that they are
connected.  However, I cannot, at this time substantiate this with
documentation.
