You could always add a father named alternatively "Father of (child)" or "Son of [name of grandparent(s)]" Then just be sure to correctly link the grandfather to the father and the father to the child, which you can do in either direction.

I have a John C. showing up in two consecutive censuses in Scotland living with his grandparents. I have been unable so far to trace which of the children were his parents, in fact those 2 censuses are the only records of his existence. There are 2 possibilities for his father -- either would be old enough to father him. I have for the time being entered him as an unlinked person, but I would like to bring him into the family records. Is there any way I can do this? -- Louise Booth Puppet Booth Productions Hassle free entertainment for children and families www.puppetbooth.homestead.com 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).
