Hi Roland I think the best way would be to enter the children as unlinked individuals, or if you already have them entered, unlink them. (right click - unlink from parents)
*To enter a new, unlinked individual: 1. Choose New, Unlinked Individual from the Add menu. The Information window appears. 2. Fill in the person's vital statistics and other information. Be sure to click the appropriate gender option for Male or Female. 3. When you are finished, click Save. 4. You can now continue to add more individuals who are linked to the one you just entered, or you can enter another unlinked person by choosing the option again. You can enter as many unlinked individuals as needed. *Then do this to add the mother: To add parents (either a Father, Mother or both) to an individual: 1. Make sure the individual is in either the Husband or Wife position of the Family View. 2. To add a father to the husband, right-click in the top half of the husband's Parents box at the top of the Family View. To add a mother to the husband, right-click in the bottom half of the husband's Parents box at the top of the Family View. The Add Father or Add Mother window appears. 3. Click Add a NEW person to create a new record for a new individual or Link to an EXISTING person if the father or mother is already in the family file as an individual. If adding a new person, the Information window appears, where you can enter the person's information. If linking to an existing person, the Name List appears where you can select the individual. 4. When you have finished adding or linking in the father or mother, the name appears in the appropriate location of the Parents box. You can then continue to add the other parent, if known Regards, Jennifer http://colston-wenck.com From: Roland Rhoades [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, 7 May 2013 1:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] illegitimate children of no spouse? I have a woman in my tree who married, then divorced. She then had a couple children with no known spouse who were born with her maiden name. How do I enter no spouse, but enter her children NOT under her first husband? Thanks.
