John, In Legacy 8 you can use the Family Tab on the right of the name list which you open to select people to share the event to amend family members, including adding a new child. While the name list is open, click on the boxes for the existing family members who share the event in the family tab. With one of the children highlighted you will see a child list button Click that to open the children list Here you will find an add brother or add sister button to add a new person to the family. That will open an individual edit screen where you can enter details for the new family member. When you save the individual you will be returned to the child list You can then repeat the above until you have added all the newly found children
Close the child list, put a check mark in the box beside the newly added child(ren) then click the select button to return to the list of people who share the event, the new family member(s) will be in the list in the file as well.
