How does one add extra marriages to a husband & wife? Around this side of the world, multiple marriages are common - I've had 4:
Australian High Commission in Malaysia - the one I see as legal. Customary Chinese wedding - the one the wife's parent's see as the only one that matters. Church wedding - because my wife wanted one - not legal in Malaysia because both parties aren't Christian, though tolerated. Malaysian Registry Office (6 years later!) - only one recognised as legal by the Malaysian government. I had never bothered to input the last 3 into Legacy for myself before, but I just got a bunch of certificates & found my wife's parents were legally married in Singapore then legally married again in Malaysia 6 years later. Not to mention the customary marriage.... I'd like to record all this information but can't see a way to do multiple marriages. I guess add in custom events is the only choice? Also, anyone else got lots of Chinese relatives? If so, how do you get around the 2 name problems: a) Chinese names have the surname first. b) Chinese forenames are both used. For example Ho Chi Minh: Ho is his family name Friends would call him Chi Minh (not Chi). Reports for Chinese & presumably Vietnamese (& maybe 1/4 of the world's population) look completely wrong to anyone reading them.
