RE: [LegacyUG] Unknown father

You could use basic source to write up a "source" that Unknown Doe is unidentified at this time, but research has shown that John and Jake Doe are brothers from the same yet-unidentified brother.

Having a source does not necessarily mean it has to be a document, it can be just an explanation of you're reasoning.

Just my 2 cents, hope this idea helps.

I have this situation in my database.  All I did was enter one of the brothers as an individual then click on the Father field in the Family Page.  This presents the family page showing the first individual as a son with no parents.  You can then simply add another son.

I would add an event against each (Census in my case) showing the details and source.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Unknown father

 

Let’s say I have two men that I know are brothers but I don’t know who their father is.  For me to get them linked as brothers I have to put in a father. 

 

James Doe and Jason Doe are brothers.  I have to put just the surname Doe as a father so that they will show as brothers, does that make sense?  The problem is, Mr. Doe is showing as a person with no sources at all.  I am a little OCD about making sure everyone has sources Smile Smile Smile  Is there anyway else to link the two brothers?
