Re: [LegacyUG] Adding second spouse as blank record (both given and surname unknown)

Hi, I used Customize > Data Format > Bottom right. I have no Unknowns. Maybe I have always had it like that when I entered the data.

So, if I want to enter this child, how do I do it?  When I try, Legacy keeps trying to link the child to the ancestor's first wife. I hope I'm being clear.
