I would appreciate some suggestions on how to enter a "boarder" into
Legacy so that a future reader can understand clearly it is not a bona
fide family member.
I'm not sure this is relevant to your particular issue, but I have an event
entitled "Also living in household"
and then in description I put in the person's name, age, sex, race,
relationship (boarder, servant, cook, mother-in-law or whatever), and any
other info. Mostly this comes from the census so for date I put in the
census year and for location whatever I can get from the census. If the
person is a relative and hence in my database I go to his/her edit screen
and add the event "Living" and in Description "with son-in-law John Doe's
family" and give the date and location as above.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Suggestions wanted please: How to enter "boarder"
I would appreciate some suggestions on how to enter a "boarder" into
Legacy so that a future reader can understand clearly it is not a bona
fide family member. Any suggestions? Here is what I know:
I changed the names, some descendants are kind of "touchy" about this.
William Kasper was born 1847. Married Kathy Anderson in 1865, he was 18,
she was 17.
First child came less than a year later. Second child a little more than
a year later.
Sometime between 1900 and 1910, they allowed a boarder into their home.
He was 13. This boarder's name was David Williams. The 1910 census lists
him as age 16, and lists him as a boarder.
1920 Census shows "David" as David Kasper, boarder. He is 23. I feel
that David Kasper is David Williams.
Apparently they did not adopt at first. They must have at some point if
he changed his last name, though.
My question: How would I best enter a "boarder" into Legacy? Just show a
copy of the census?
Thanks.
Robert
