Re: [LegacyUG] Birth Event
Thanks Cathy. This will greatly help and is just what I needed to know. I don't know how this happened, but I definitely need to get rid of it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Birth Event
Margaret, You shouldn't have Birth in the Event/Fact section unless you are adding Alternate data you have found in Alt. Birth or create an event called Disproven Birth as you'll see in the Sample file. Unfortunately there is no way to remove an event until it isn't used by anyone. You need to remove them one by one. The easiest way is to go to View > Master Lists > Event Definition. Highlight the relevant Event and then click Show List. Turn the Show List into a Search List and then close out of the Master List. You will be asked if you want to see the Search list. Say yes. Then in the Search List/Name List, bring the Event tab on the right to the front and move down the list in the left removing the Event from each person as you go. To remove them from your reports at one stroke, go to the Event Definition for this Birth event you've added and check to make it Private. Then if you don't override Master Events marked private in the Privacy Options, they won't be in reports. But you want to get them out of your database. You shouldn't have an Event/Fact as well as the entry in the top section of the Individual Information screen. If you want to see everything in date order, switch to the Chronology View.

Re: [LegacyUG] Birth Event
I try to add an approximate date: Cir 1840 or Est. 1912, etc. If you know about these children then you must have some reference like oral history, a Bible entry, a census, a letter - whatever led you to believe they existed.
