Joan, You said, "Moving next to marriage certificates, there is no 'Marriage' under 'Events'. Ergo, I want to create an 'Event' called 'Marriage' with a Master Source 'marriage certificates' and then list the details of individual marriage certificates along with the details for a given individual (again, using a template for consistency). However, I can't see how to edit 'Events' to include 'Marriage'. I don't want 'Marriage to be 'Unspecified' - that seems inappropriate. Further, I would like the two individuals who are married to share the same 'Source detail'"
There is an easier way to do this. The marriage is already listed as an "event" of sorts. You don't have to add an event to the events list. To the right of the marriage (where the date/place are recorded) you will see a marriage sources button, a marriage events button (though I don't use that), an marriage notes button and a picture gallery button. All of these pertain to the marriage specifically. You can transcribe the entire marriage record here, you can scan and attach the original document, you can record anything you want here that pertains to the marriage itself. I would keep the marriage info OUT of the main events tab. There is no reason to tangle them up. If I were to use the marriage events icon, I might attach a newspaper announcement of the engagement, or the wedding announcement. You can do whatever you want. My only advice is, keep the marriage stuff within the marriage field and don't add marriage events to the main list of events if that makes sense. michele Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
