I have struggled with this question for a long time. It is hard to state it clearly. I should like to know how others handle putting into your data those people who MAY be related or connected to your family. For example:
Persons living in the same county who have the same surname as your family, but you have found no connection. Persons who are strangers to you, but who are in - say a Rootweb World Connect Tree - as being a parent/sibling/child of your ancestor. Some one who, as a result of some kind of clue (family given names, in a deed with no relationship stated, etc.) appears to have a connection, but you don't know what it is. Person of a whole different surname, but whom you find repeatedly in your research on your surname, so suspect there may be a link. I never know what to do with these peripheral people, as far as inputting them into my Legacy program. Any suggestions? Jane S.
