>From Todd Bredin May 24 YES - Connie Sheets on May 20 has the answer, she says for the Ancestor Chart, "on the Report Options Format Tab, ensure that "Don't repeat duplicate lines" is checked." When you check this box, the chart says "duplicate line, see page x" next to the second occurrence of the pair. Now I need to find how to do the same thing in the CHARTING program.
Thank you everyone for the lively discussion, and it has raised the question if Legacy should ask you when it appears a duplicate person is being entered. This would have to be an option as, in my case - PA 1800s- there are plenty of duplicate first-last name combos in my ancestors, you have to get into vital record dates to tell them apart, OR who their parents/ancestors are, e.g. who you connect them to. Yes mine were first cousins, not second. My situation arose from piecing together bits of relationships from different sources, and not knowing how the wife, with a maiden name same as her husband, was related to him. I found they were first cousins by happening to see that the CHARTING ancestor chart showed the same apparent couple at the grandparents level, and pursuing that. By the way, one thing I did was research if/when Pennsylvania had a law about first cousins marrying, and it did pass a law in 1901 but before that it was not illegal. See h ttp://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=950CE2D81139EF32A25750C2A9609C946097D6CF<http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=950CE2D81139EF32A25750C2A9609C946097D6CF> I also found the following about 2009 About half of the states allow first cousins to marry (2007) , according to stateline.org, a research site on state laws. PA does not. “ First cousins who were denied a marriage license by a Pennsylvania judge earlier this month [yr 200?] were wed in a civil ceremony in Maryland “ - Now [~ 2002] a study by the National Society of Genetic Counselors says<http://www.ingenta.com/isis/searching/ExpandTOC/ingenta?issue=infobike://klu/jogc/2002/00000011/00000002&index=2&WebLogicSession=PLL5m8l54wPFB5UZ50jg|-1426079639200025319/-1052814329/6/7051/7051/7052/7052/7051/-1>that having a child with your first cousin raises the risk of a significant birth defect from about 3-to-4 percent to about 4-to-7 percent.
