You have to do those as separate events. > Interesting that this should come up now because it is just a day or 2 ago that I was puzzling over how to enter the dates for 3 callings of Marriage Banns.

I also noticed that LegacyFS was objecting to a date like "1850 - abt 1860" which is annoying because I do know the first date exactly but am not sure of the second (it's a period of someone's varied employment as ships' captain) and I like to be accurate. -- Jenny M Benson 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).
