This is a perplexing problem for me and I'm never sure the best way to do this.
For the example, I have an obituary that lists surviving daughters. Their names are not the daughter names, but their husbands' names. Take this example. Obituary for James Jones James Jones died.... daughters surviving are Mrs. John Smith, Mrs. Thomas Johnson and Mrs. Henry Williams. Now the Census (way back when the girls were younger) says: Jones, James (head of household) " , Betsey (wife) " , Mary (daughter) " , Virginia (daughter) " , Winnifred (daughter) So I know that Mary Jones, Virginia Jones and Winnifred Jones are all daughters of James Jones, but now I have a list of 3 daughters in the obituary and I'm uncertain who is married to who. For that matter, maybe there was another fourth daughter born later and Mary or Virginia or Winnifred died before James did. Who knows? All I know is that I have six different daughter names. How do you all enter this in Legacy? Do you list James' Census daughters as daughters AND the Obit daughters as daughters then merge them when you know more? Or do you only make notes in the Census daughters? Or something else?
