"Can you add an unknown wife who is the mother of children? There is a second wife, but she is their step-mother."
Yes, you can. With the husband and step-wife in the centre in Family View, on the keyboard press <A><W> (Add Wife) or click Add > Wife from the menu. This will bring up the information window for a new person who is a wife to the husband showing. Fill in what you know (if anything). If you know nothing except she existed, my method is to put something (a "placeholder" of sorts) in the Given Name field in privacy brackets, like this: [[Unknown wife of ----]] When I do find out who she is, I keep that placeholder name as an aka, because it shows the path I took to finding out who this person was - where I discovered she existed in the first place, and where I found out what her name was. There are other ways to do this, but this is how I do it and it suits me. The wives will be ordered with the most recently-added last, but you can rearrange that if you wish - click on the Wives icon for the husband, and use the arrows to sort as you please, or use the Sort button if there are dates present for Legacy to do it for you. Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy 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).
