Anne, I do the same as Jenny, however, just because in the form there is a field to fill in you do not have to complete it. Just leave it blank.

Or another way to > add the information? How would you cope with people who had lots of different occupations over their lifetime? Even if people don't change their occupation some of my people have lots of different Occupation Events because I record the Occupation each time I find evidence of it - and very often there are variations in terminology at different times. I think in order to have an Occupation Event which could be included on charts you'd have to have a "special" field, similar to the Vital Events. Wouldn't cater for people with multiple occupations, though. -- Jenny M Benson 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).
