I do something similar to your method Virginia. I also use the 'create event' feature, but I use 3 events for such - Possible Parent, Possible Spouse, and Possible Child. It allows me to find those people with information I need to further investigate rather quickly using the <View>-<Master Lists>-<Event Definition> method. Selecting the appropriate event and then <show list> allows me to edit-/-print-/-tag-/-create search lists as needed. And like you, the 'privacy' feature makes sure that the information is not erroneously reported.

Then I use my created event: "Under Investigation", where I note the reasons for entering this person and keep track of all my research. Then as an added insurance of not sending any reports including this person, I mark the individual as private. That way I will not be misleading anyone.

Or, for that matter, you have 2 or 3 possible candidates for person A's father. One does not want to list them as though it is certain, but just putting the candidates in as "unlinked" does not allow for connecting them when wanted, say for research purposes. Ideas? Jane S.
