Males are coloured blue and females red so I know which gender they are. If I want further clarification, I use Mr and Ms in the given name fields. I suppose I could add all the children to the notes field of both the unknown parents, headed up "possible children" so I can easily identify which unknown father/mother is associated with which children, then, if I ever find the parent/s, all I have to do is change the relevant fields. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk 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://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
