Multiple direct lines seem to be common when you trace your
family back to New England - small isolated towns created
intermarriages between a limited number of families so that a
couple generations down the line you find second & third cousins
marrying. I'd like to see a way of handling that easily in Legacy, but
in the meantime, I've made it a habit of placing my preferred child
first in each children list, no matter where he or she stood in birth
order. Then if I have multiple descent from one set of parents, I
place the children leading to those other lines ahead of the
preferred child. This tells me at a glance that there is more than
one path from this point on. Not exactly elegant, but a stop-gap
measure until a neater way of handling it comes along.
