I used our oldest child (who has died) as the first entry, or at least
the entry relationships are calculated from. That gives me relationships
on both sides of the family. I do not know who is number one, since when
I was entering information I did not know about the process (and I think
I originally entered the stuff in FTM anyway).

Hello,
I have always heard that it's best to begin entering data with yourself as #1.
I've done this and know it is a practice followed on this list. That
said, I recently
attended a genealogy conference where the speaker was strongly suggesting
that if you have only one child, that child should be entered as #1
and by doing
so, a clear picture of both parent's families would result. Has
anyone tried this?
I brought up the fact that starting with the child will change the
"usual" numbers
seen on a pedigree form, but was countered with "Numbers are not important."
The fact that I have one child is allowing me to consider this option,
but after
entering hundreds of names into Legacy, I'd hate to have to start over and I
won't do it without the expert advice on this list. Does the speaker's
suggestion
have merit? Any thoughts?
Thanks so much,
Lavern Hall
