Hi Mary, You must have added that one yourself. Pat, If I don't want to add all the children but know how many or genders, I usually add it to the Marriage Notes but a Marriage event would work just as well.
If you put unexpected information into a field, like 5 children in the Given Name for a child, then you must expect unacceptable output.
