For me that's true also, Ron. I was looking for a way to mark them, but it would have to be something different than entering something into any of the name fields. The best I can think of right now is in the note fields, but that wouldn't pull them up in a search. Maybe when I have a better understanding of starting my own individual ID numbers (If I'm wording that correctly) something might be possible. Fortunately, right now, I don't have "maybes" in my tree except one unattached family, but I have seen some I've been tempted to include. I'm thinking having a lot of "unattached individuals would be confusing, so haven't done it again. It's something I'll have to look for a way that I'm happy with, but not a top priority right now.
Thanks for your thoughts on this. >________________________________ > From: Ron Ferguson <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Sent: Friday, April 20, 2012 3:49 PM >Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] What to do with the "I think" and "maybe" individuals? > >Peggy, > >As somebody else wrote, it is important to consider at this early stage as to >whether you may wish to publish your work as a report just for your family, >send copies to other researchers, publish formally or as a web site.
