I think your first problem, as such, is that the Birth, Death and Marriage Registrations are primarily a UK thing. What you're asking for is a change to what is fundamentally a US-centric product. It took some time to get Legacy to accept the UK registration quarters as dates and even longer for them to be used in some of the internal date and period calculations. Set them up as Registration events in which the FreeBMD information can be recorded and sourced if you like. Then if it's the first date enter it so that it appears on the Family view. You should probably set up separate locations for the Registration Districts as well. You need to distinguish between the RD and a town of the same name. Later, as you get more accurate information, enter it initially as an Alt. event and swap it with the less accurate birth/death or marriage information. The fact that you now have two events that are effectively the same is nothing to worry about. Simply mark what is now the Alt. event as a private event. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg (g) 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).
