I have several instances of knowing there were more children than I can account for otherwise - for example, the in 1911 Census married women had to record how many children they had given birth to and how many were surviving. For the lack of any other evidence, I add each of these children with no forename, sex unknown, birth and death dates "before 02 April 1911." -- Jenny M Benson 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).
