First, forget the children for now! You have two named fathers and probably a third, unnamed father at minimum. I would first of all create the 3 basic relationships of the mother. These are marriages but they're not, if you see what I mean. Now add or link the children for which you know the fathers to the correct couple. The rest of the children get linked to the couple with the third, unknown father. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ 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).
