Marg, I go straight to "Maybe" and Possible and I put it in the name - Mary (maybe) Jones, where I can easily see it.
I have six Davis lines all blood kin to me, but since I am a Davis born this gets confusing <G> as you can imagine. Yesterday I cried Uncle and entered on one William (married a Phillips) Davis which will tell me his children are blood kin to my Howe line thru my 2Xggf sister. I love that Legacy lets me do these odd things. Also I don't use "sources" I put the sourcing in the event, I hate a row of numbers after a name <G> but that is me and Legacy lets me <G> Eliz On Thu, Apr 19, 2012 at 8:31 PM, Marg Strong <[email protected]> wrote: > > When I read this (posted as a comment in another topic) I wondered again if > there was a way to put individuals into your tree and identify them as > unsourced.
