I have a basic question on handling adoptions. Let me give an example: Family 1: Tom Jones and Mary Smith married and had 2 children: Joe & Sara
Tom & Mary were divorced, and Mary married again: Family 2: Carl Johnson & Mary Smith. Carl and Mary then had 2 children: Les and Lois Family 2 adopted the children (Joe & Sara) and then they assumed the new last name of Johnson. By birth, Joe and Sara's last names are Smith. After Adoption, their last name became Johnson. It is easy to enter this information into the 2 families in Legacy. The problem is the last name for Joe & Sara after the adoption. Family 2 really now has 4 children with the last name of Johnson. A couple of questions: 1. How do you enter last names for Joe & Sara? 2. How do you include Joe & Sara in both families with both family names or not? ___ Leon Chapman [email protected] ----- 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).
