RE: [LegacyUG] Never married option in Legacy 8

[mbstx]

I disagree - in many cases for men there is evidence of no marriage (census records, death certs, etc.), but rarely can you confirm no children.  For women, church records can record births, sometimes the father, even if common law, pre-marriage, or illegitimate (I have an ancestor who in mid-1800s Germany had 6 illegitimate children, none with fathers recorded). -----Original Message----- From: David Abernathy Sent: Jun 18, 2013 10:03 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Never married option in Legacy 8 No, we do not need these entries. Yes, as far as we know she was never married, but many were living as “Common Law” marriages. As for NO children, there again we have found not records of having any, but many did and gave the child away at birth.   Just make an entry in the Notes, and be done with it.   Thanks, David C Abernathy Email disclaimers ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message represents the official view of the voices in my head. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.SchmeckAbernathy.com == All outgoing and incoming mail is scanned by F-Prot Antivirus  ==   From: Roland Rhoades [mailto:see...@maine.rr.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 5:22 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Never married option in Legacy 8   YES, WE ABSOLUTELY NEED THAT OPTION.   Roland Rhoades Maine Families Genealogist www.RolandRhoades.com see...@maine.rr.com 2010: 30 Years as a Genealogist   From: Pat Hickin [mailto:pph...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 8:09 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Never married option in Legacy 8   I hope that in the new version of Legacy the option "Never married and had no children" will be divided into to options: Never married  Had no children   With men especially, I have no way of knowing if men who never married also "had no children."   Pat Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ 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).
