Re: [LegacyUG] Possible parentage
Russ, Of course it is, but the question which was asked had nothing to do with sourcing, but how, and/or whether, to include persons of unproven relationships into the Legacy database - especially if there were multiple possibilities. In my original response I simply said that one should not.

Re: [LegacyUG] Possible parentage
I have a situation where we know by DNA results we match a particular family line, but even having hired a researcher we've not been able to prove our grandfather, and may never, a great possibility exist that it is a certain person, so I use Possibly with the person's name. I list the Census and other records we have for this person as events, and explanations regarding same. Many people have copied my information from my website over the years, by putting this information on the family website, maybe someone with have other information on this particular person and contact me. In other situations I use events such as: Family Researcher and I document the information this researcher has and if it's online I include the URL. Family depending on what it is, I may add private to it so it's just for my records or further research.

Re: [LegacyUG] Possible parentage
The Children Settings can be sourced which means that the link between parent and child can be sourced. Add a status Relationship Not Proven to any of the three status lists (Child Status, Relationship to Father, Relationship to Mother) and then add a master source Relationship Not Proven. Now you can add detail sources for each particular relationship with notes explaining what is known or suspected. Using either the master source or the status pull down list, you can Show List to find all those having the Not Proven indications. The programmers could provide report options that would bypass Not Proven connections.

Re: [LegacyUG] Possible parentage
To each his own, I suppose, but I would think entering multiple people as AKAs would only serve to confuse things. There are several men named Hancock living in the same vicinity in southern Illinois. I have no idea which one (if any of them) is the father of my gggrandmother. The only way I'm going to answer that question is to research each of these men and identify their children, their associates, their events. I may never find anything that says John Hancock is the father of Jane Hancock, but I may eventually find something that proves the names of William's children, and Jane isn't among them. Or that the third possibility, Benjamin Hancock died 11 months before Jane was born. Finding that evidence doesn't happen overnight, however, and even when it is found doesn't prove that John was her father just because William and Benjamin have been ruled out. Nor does it mean that William and Benjamin, even if ruled out as her father, were not otherwise related, perhaps as uncle, grandfather, brother, or cousin.

Re: [LegacyUG] Possible parentage
Connie, I would enter (as in your example) John as the primary...and then add William as an AKA and then Benjamin as an AKA. This method started when I was researching family members with very sketchy information which led to muliple candidates. Having unlinked individuals simply did not work for me ... since my maybe maybe not entries are marked as private, I do not worry about them making a public appearance...unless I want someone else's opinion. I always create PDF's which I edit before printing...and the private setting is easy to catch.

RE: [LegacyUG] Individual Report problem
Hi Sherry, 1. I do have the latest build 2. I reset the report as instructed and that creates a one page report with no issues. I went to report options, in the Pictures tab, I checked Picture of Main Person. No problem with that report, even though it was still a one page report. Next I unchecked Picture of Main Person and checked Event Pictures. That report was 2 pages with no problems. Then I went back and checked Picture of Main Person and left Event Pictures checked. Here starts the problems. Page one is OK, page two has the vertical line all the way done the page (this is the line that separates the Labels Father: (or Mother etc.) from the actual name. This page only has three lines of information. Page 3 is fine. This still only seems to be happening on my father's page and I have tried several others. What do you think is causing this?

The first things to do when a report isn't formatting correctly even when it's just for one individual: 1. Make sure you have the current build (7.5.0.112) 2. Reset the report options by clicking the Reset button in the lower right corner of the main report option window. You'll have to reselect your choices.

Re: [LegacyUG] Possible parentage
So what would you do with Benjamin census records, or William's will? Put them all under John's name? Or how about you find out Benjamin was William's brother and the names of William's children, but you still don't know who John and Benjamin's children were? Or you have only the names of one or two of their children? Sounds like a can of worms to me, but if it works for you, who am I to complain? I'll stick with entering them as separate individuals, and cross-referencing them in Notes. As I always say; that's the beauty of Legacy. There are always multiple ways to customize the program to fit our individual needs and ways of thinking.

Re: [LegacyUG] Possible parentage
I do as Ron describes, and it works for me. When printing an Individual Report for the mother, the kids with unproven father's show up as Jane (1901-1988) (father: unproven) (mother) with supersripts for source citations next to mother and father. It serves my purposes. Jean On Wed, Aug 10, 2011 at 7:16 AM, Ron Taylor doit4...@yahoo.com wrote: The Children Settings can be sourced which means that the link between parent and child can be sourced. Add a status Relationship Not Proven to any of the three status lists (Child Status, Relationship to Father, Relationship to Mother) and then add a master source Relationship Not Proven. Now you can add detail sources for each particular relationship with notes explaining what is known or suspected. Using either the master source or the status pull down list, you can Show List to find all those having the Not Proven indications. The programmers could provide report options that would bypass Not Proven connections.
