Sorry, Jenny, but I cannot agree here. If the relationship is through the
mother of, say, an illigitimate child then clearly that relationship exists
irrespective of the father. I previously gave an example from my own tree where
such a relationship exists and *is* displayed.

Kathy,
I think you solution is not only unique, but it avoids the pitfalls of using
Unknown, UNK and so forth, which can create problems in online indexes, etc.
Very truthfully, I have seen one instance where an amateur genealogist did
not realize that UNK was an abbreviation and actually
For those who still use Legacy 5.0 there is a new update available. If
you have Legacy 5.0 Deluxe you can update from withing Legacy by going
to Internet Check for Update.
For those using the Standard Version you will have to download the
installation program from our Web site here:
Hi,
I updated to Version 6.0.0.118 and everything seem to be OK until I went to
close the file. I got the following error:
Error saving database profile.
Error 3043: Disk or network error.
I reopened the program and file and then closed it. This time I didn't get
the error message.
Any idea
Donna,
Since it works in other cases in your tree, but not specifically for
her, why don't you try exporting this little branch to another file
and see if the relationships work? Or you could delete your
grandmother and her first child and create them all over again,
linking them in, and see if
Roxanne,
When you delete someone from a family file, you run the risk of breaking
several family relationships. For example, if you delete a married man as a
child, then you also delete him as a husband and a father (if he has
children). Most of the time unlinking is best.
Please see our
Is there a recommended way of tracking various individuals who have either a
long-term or momentary relationship? Examples would be servants, clergymen,
slaves, etc.
For now, I can only see recording various notes and (in some cases) keeping
track of separate families which I can publish

MessageDonna,
Sometimes a refresh of TOOLS / SET RELATIONSHIPS is needed. I don't really
expect it to work for you since when you gave the unknown a fake name it fixed
the relationship until you changed it back to unknown, right?

Also check that Legacy has not somehow added an extra set of Unknown
parents when you see someone who appears to be unlinked. If Legacy
thinks there is n\more than one set of parents there will be a number on
the Parent Icon under their name in family view.

I have 5.0.0.256 (Version 5). I have a great-great-grandfather who had

information for the mother. The relationship calculator correctly

I just purchased Map My Family Tree. I have a number of entries in

Is there an update to Geocode that gives the Canadian counties?

Okay, I messed up and changed different items in two saved files. It only
involves 90
people. I have so many people in the two files I would rather not merge the
files. I
used to open a laptop and my desktop PC so I could view and change/add
information,
but laptop is not available to use.
Thanks to those who answered my plea for help with pictures. I am working
on it - not perfected yet - but hopefully it will work soon.
I am very grateful for the quick help the members of this list always seem
to do. Thanks again,

Tish, whilst the technique used is not uncommon,
The solution has already been given in this thread.
Put the actual relationship in double square brackets.
If you like the [--?--]
enter it as
[--?--] [[wife of Joe Blow]]
etc
I don't like the [--?--] so just put the relevant information in the
double square brackets like the original poster.
Sorry - the solution only specified single square brackets. If double
were meant, it should
have been written that way.
I tested double square brackets - and that solves the Possible illegal
characters message
in the Potential Problems report - but when I make an Ancestry report, it
leaves
