You may be a little premature. There are a multitude of ways of displaying
dates in Options>Customise>Dates and double dating is allowed. However
different programs have their own ways of dealing with double dates - some
may add to the date and some may deduct - it's just a question of getting
used to it. In any event if the "check date formatting" is left unchecked
you can put in what you wish.

Thanks. I appreciate your answer.
Scratch Legacy. I will not use any program that doesn't accept the dates
the way I entered them.

I am not sure what you meqan by irregular and dual
dates. if you mean words like 'infant' in the date
field, Legacy uses the list of 'words' used by the LDS
church. I am guessing you mean 15 Jan 1751/1752 by
dual dates. They are automatically converted, but I
always check that it converted the correct way. I have
not found a report that losses some of the children,
but double-half children may be left out on some of
them. I have a similar situation with my Norwegian
branch that of about four thousand I am related to
80%, and they did the same intermarrying and out of
marriage children they were cousins to. You must judge
if the reports work to your specifications. I think it
will, but each of us want different things.

I'm just checking. It seems to me I've previously
tried Legacy and wasn't
satisfied, but it looks like your software has some
new features.
Does Legacy import irregular and dual dates?
Does Legacy print on narrative ancestor reports,
books, and web sites, ALL
spouses for each ancestor, AND all their children?
If not, is there an easy workaround through the
publisher central feature?
I'm working with several thousand French Canadan
ancestors who married
multiple times more often than not. This is not
just an occasional issue.
Thanks!
