In response to David. No issue gives closure to that line. As Brian mentions anyone else following on from me will see this without the need to investigate. When sharing information with family I print the descendants Report and at this point no one has my soft copy. With the exception of 1 instance I never select "this couple had no children" unless I am sure this is the case. I only recently discovered a gg uncle where the death certificate listed children as nil when in reality he had 1 child (complicated story), so there is a chance of a mistaken entry. Assumptions are not for me, I am the type of person who dots all the 'i's and crosses all the 'T's and having this little bit of information is just something I would like to see. Legacy is working as designed and with this knowledge I will create a work around for myself.
