Jim, I know of no totally satisfactory way of of overcoming this difficulty. You have mentioned one way and I can only suggest two others. One is simply to include the grandchild in the grandparents notes with all relevant information. This means, of course, that the grandchild is pretty obscure.
The other is to include the grandchild as an unlinked individual (Add>New unlinked individual), again with all the details in the notes for the grandparents and also the child. This method is fine if one's main interest is websites as both the grandparent and grandchild can be linked via html in the notes. But less appealing for written reports.

Help CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Help... Does anyone have a solution to my small problem? I would like to enter a grand-daughter to an individual without adding a "blank" or "unnamed" daughter, into my database Any suggestions? The situation is that in 1881 the individual, my widowed Step-GGG-Grandmother Jane (?) Parker has a Grand-Daughter Sarah Jane Sutcliffe, aged 7-years old living with her, per the Census. Also in the same house are eight of my 10 Half-GG-Grandaunts, all listed on the same 1881 Census as unmarried. The other two Half-GG-Grandaunts are also unmarried and living together 30 minutes away. Based on biological possibilities three of the Half-GG-Grandaunts could have been Sarah Jane Sutcliffe's mother. Also, there are three other GG-Grandaunts and one GG-Grandmother. All 14 were daughters of my GGG-Grandfather John Parker, and his two wives; Elizabeth - four daughters; Jane - 10 daughters. I have not been able to determine which of the possible six; three GG-Grandaunts or three Half-GG-Grandaunts was Sarah Jane Sutcliffe's mother, and I don't want to enter a "blank" individual. There are already 17 children entered in the database and I really don't want to enter a "blank" eighteenth. Is there a method in Legacy to enter an individual's grandchild, as sort of a "floater"? -- Jim Jim Smith Tampa, FL 33624 [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ Get Hotmail on your mobile, text MSN to 63463! http://mobile.uk.msn.com/pc/mail.aspx Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
