[LegacyUG] How to enter the birth family of an adopted daughter.

2009-10-04 Thread June Chan
In the 1911 census I have my Smith family but in addition to the siblings I
know about there is also an 11 year old child Emily Turton who is listed as
an adopted daughter.

In the 1901 census she appears with her widowed father Thomas and her sister
Florrie.

So far I have been unable to find a connection between Emily or her parents
and my Smith family.

Could someone please advise how I enter her on Legacy. Prior to finding her
on the 1901 census I added her as the adopted daughter of my Smith family,
but now I have her father and sister I will obviously need to change this.

Thank you - June

June,

First marry the father to an unknown person. You will need to name the 
spouse Unkown but after linking you can delete the spouse (in Family View 
right click on the spouse and select delete). The marriage will still 
remain.


Now, in Family View set June as the focus and click the parents icon, select 
Link to Exisiting Parents and link Emily to them. Repeat with Emily's 
sister.
