Go to the Marriage Information window for Male 1 and Female 2 - you have a box to check that says "This couple did not marry", as well as the Wording Options tab where you can choose how you will describe their relationship in words that feel appropriate to you.
I'm not married to my partner - it's been 25 years now, we're not in a rush. :-) As well as that box checked, the status of our relationship set to "Common Law". In the Wording Options tab in Legacy I have it set to say that we "had a relationship with" each other. The spouse (at the bottom of the window) is also set to be called a Partner, and the "marriage" is called a Partnership. Choose the words/phrases that suit you for your situation. You could see what effect marking the "marriage" as Private to see if that removes the names from the Spouse List. Hope this helps. :-) Wendy Kathy Thompson said the following on 25/09/2013 5:39 p.m.: > I have a situation which is no doubt not unique but I'm not sure how > to get Legacy to handle it properly to suit the sensitivities of the > situation. > > Male 1 marries Female 1 and they have Child 1 > Male 2 marries Female 2 and they have Child 2, 3 & 4 > Female 1 dies. > Some years later Male 1 has an illicit liaison with Female 2 resulting > in Child 5 and Divorce between Male 2 and Female 2 > Male 1 and Female 2 never marry and aside from the illicit liaison, > minimal relationship with each other. > Child 5 needs to have parents correctly recorded as Male 1 and Female > 2 but since the parents had only the briefest of relationships, I > don't want the reports to say spouse or even partner. > I would also prefer (if at all possible) for Female 2 & Male 1 to Not > appear in the Spouse list for each other. > > How can I best handle this situation? > > Thanks 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).
