Re: [LegacyUG] Add unknown wife
Sure - you have the father and for his spouse and the mother I just name them Unknown, Unknown (others might leave blank but I prefer to have some information - you could add what you know about possible birth and death timeframes). Then you add second wife (or add marriage) and the children will show up with Unknown in ( ) in that second marriage.

Re: [LegacyUG] Add unknown wife
I,ve been taking it one step further -- I give a totally unknown person as first name Unk and family name as Unkown. That way, I can use the same format if I don't have a first name or a last name. It has worked well for me although the Legacy program keeps telling me I can't use an adjective as a name ...

Re: [LegacyUG] Add unknown wife
Can you add an unknown wife who is the mother of children? There is a second wife, but she is their step-mother. Yes, you can. With the husband and step-wife in the centre in Family View, on the keyboard press AW (Add Wife) or click Add Wife from the menu. This will bring up the information window for a new person who is a wife to the husband showing. Fill in what you know (if anything). If you know nothing except she existed, my method is to put something (a placeholder of sorts) in the Given Name field in privacy brackets, like this: [[Unknown wife of ]] When I do find out who she is, I keep that placeholder name as an aka, because it shows the path I took to finding out who this person was - where I discovered she existed in the first place, and where I found out what her name was. There are other ways to do this, but this is how I do it and it suits me. The wives will be ordered with the most recently-added last, but you can rearrange that if you wish - click on the Wives icon for the husband, and use the arrows to sort as you please, or use the Sort button if there are dates present for Legacy to do it for you. Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Re: [LegacyUG] Add unknown wife
Thanks to those of you who helped me with this. I did use the bracket with the name of the husband. That way I can keep tract of her. Much appreciated.

Re: [LegacyUG] Add unknown wife
Personally for an unknown wife I use MNU (maiden name unknown) and FNU (first name unknown). LNU (last name unknown) for a man -plus FNU of course.
