Daniel, What you describe is like the one in my family where the couple had two marriages--one was held in the US ( parish of the bride), the other was held in another country in the parish of the groom. How did you record your two marriages in Legacy? Thanks, Lavern Hall On Wed, Oct 23, 2013

I have entered a Mantis Issue on this anomaly. I also noticed that children's deaths are not included in the timeline, even if they died during the lifetime of the parent so I included that in the report. Chronology Tab does use the Bapt/chr date in lieu of birth dates to sort children but doesn't
