This is an unusual problem to me, but you may have seen it before and know how to manage it in Legacy Family Tree. The COOPER family got on the boat in England but was listed at Ellis Island as the LUCKEN family. Some individuals had a middle name of Lucken. I collected enough COOPER and LUCKEN data to create a timeline of events. It clearly shows the COOPER family from the 1871 census until the 1891 census when the LUCKEN name appears. I considered the possibility that I was dealing with two separate familes with parents and children of the same names in the same order, but am convinced that they are, in fact, the same family. How do I manage this name change? How do I let the reader know, for example, that Robert Cooper of England became Robert Lucken in the USA?
In a relational database, I could link the record of Robert Cooper to to the record of Robert Lucken. Is that possible in Legacy?
