--- Begin Message ---Ok, You guys know I am a little slow on the uptake, but, I have been watching all this and wondering why the surname does not just get placed in the male parents position and then add the child? Is there some problem that this sets up further down the line that I am not visualizing? Is it that the father may not be the surname carrier? Without a first name and without a source the data should be suspect and there fore equivalent to "unknown" or other place fillers.Ian I live in my own little world, but it's OK. Everyone knows me here.

In a past existence (Legacy 7.5) it was possible, with a parent-less person on show in the Family tab, to double-click on the empty parents and have the program 'create' blank parents. You could then add a sibling to the original, parent-less person. No parents were actually created. This no longer seems to work under version 8.0 -- Regards, Mike Fry (Jhb) _______________________________________________ LegacyUserGroup mailing list [email protected] http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com
