Thank you everyone who replied. I did know about the Alt. Birth and other events (actually, I think I read the article mentioned a couple of months ago - and went and quickly changed all I could find in my files.) I had actually even used it on this individual for a calculated Birthdate about 8 years earlier than the other calculated birthdates.
I am thinking that I may add events called something like Disproved.... and maybe in this individuals case ones called something like Unlikely or some similar word.... to indicate my extreme doubt - but I haven't yet disproved it (as it is quite possible that he was counted in the census twice.) (of course, I would have greater doubt of the information provided by the doctor in the hospital than I would by him or his wife at home anyway....) Thank you for everyone's insights.... and it sounds like the question was helpful to others too! Heather Stovold (nee McCaslin) On 12/19/06, David S Brookes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Heather, If you go to the 'Sample' file that comes with Legacy and click on the Events for Asa Clark Brown, one of the events is 'Disproven Birth'. My suggestion is to use something similar. Put the information in an event called 'Disproved', 'Disproved' or something similar and add the information in the notes section, you could then link your disproven source to the Event in the usual way. I think I would work along these lines.
