With any conflicting information, you add an 'event' for 'alt. birth' or 'alt. christening' or 'alt. death', etc. If you use the one that is already shown in the drop down list of events (rather than creating your own, which you can), once you have added the alternate information, if you decide the alternate is more accurate than your original, you can click on 'options' to the right of the event box (have your event highlighted) and click on the option to 'swap with birth [or death, etc]' and then the less accurate information will move down as the 'alt. event' I have no idea about how the text shows up in reports though. You can source this the same way you source any other information.
Geoff did two webinars recently that would be a huge help to you. The first was on a death record and the 2nd on marriage records. I would watch the first one because there were a few things on there that weren't covered in the 2nd that you might be interested in (I know I was) and then much of the 2nd webinar will be repeated but it's good because you see how those tools are used for multiple purposes in Legacy and you will see different screens and of course some new information too :-) Hope this helps. I am not the most advanced user and I have been very grateful for others' help on this list. Just this week they answered two or three problems for me!
