Terri, Is that not the wrong description? I would suggest that in the case quoted it should be “Not Proven” rather than “Challenged”, the l,latter meaning that somebody has questioned the relationship.

I use the Research Notes of the child to present my arguements. The child status can be set to show on the Family view by going to the View tab in Options > Customize. If I am certain of one parent but not the other, I use a Relationship to Mother (or Father) status of "Challenged". Unfortunately the relationship status does not show on the Family view.

When I am sure of a parent-child relationship but I just can’t prove it, I go ahead and link them in legacy and then in the notes I explain all of my circumstantial evidence [evidências circunstanciais] explaining why I think I am right. This is how I do it. Michele From: Luis Salreta Sent: Sunday, June 26, 2011 8:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Relationships surety level Hi I am Legacy user, since version 4 (standard) and version 5 (deluxe edition) and belong to the team that is translating Legacy to European Portuguese. Of course I like the program, but there is one thing that is missing and I would like to know what you do in similar situations. If we have all the information about a family, it is easy to establish the relationships with a great certainty, through marriage, birth and death certificates (in the Portuguese church records, we can also get many times the grandparents). But sometimes records are missing or the persons went to another place that we don’t know, and we have only one or two records referencing them and the relationship is more uncertain. For instance I have a Jake son of John Salreta and Maryann. Later on I have the marriage of Jake (son of John Salreta and Marylu). I believe in the documents and the information within but are those 2 Jakes the same? If I could I would put only 3 (max of 5) in the relationship (to the parents) surety level. (sorry for the poor names :-). So, what I’m lacking is a “surety level” for the relationships, and maybe one “comment” field where I could describe the reasons for my doubts. I’m not referring to the documents “surety level”, because that refers to the confidence I have in that document and the information within (or that's the way i'm using it). I’ve already search the forum for this type of problem and the best I found was in the thread ‘How to represent a "Best Fit" Ancestor’ and don't like the solutions proposed. I think they are "klunges". What I’m asking is, if there is the need, how do you address this problem.
