Thanks Russ, but what actually happens with export to a GEDCOM? For the usage I quoted, the phantom lies in the direct male line. If Legacy simply deletes the individual, that breaks the continuity of the line. If Legacy just suppresses the content of the name fields, then the line inherits the ghost of a phantom - pointers to no information then further pointers to real entries. Dunno what other programs or databases would make of that.
