Brian: Seems like a bug to me. If only one member of a couple is entered along with marriage information, then the inclusion of "someone" in the report wording would be appropriate. When the second person's name is added later, it seems that name should then simply override or cancel out the "someone" instead of having it become "someone John Jones" and/or instead of having to go through the extra steps that you listed. I'm thinking that if a blank name field would trigger addition of the word "someone" in a report, then adding a name to the field should likewise toggle the "someone" off. Am I misinterpreting the way the program works?

I created an ancestor X 2. I added a marriage date and place but no spouse. 3. The Marriage wording tab of the marriage screen then used the default setting "X married someone" for an unknown spouse. 4. I ran an ancestor report and the X married someone wording was used with no name. 5. I closed the report 6. I added the missing spouse Y 7. When the marriage screen appeared I clicked the cancel button instead of save since the date and place were OK. I did not examine the Wording Tab. If I had looked at the wording tab I would have seen that the wording was now "married". 8. Because I cancelled the change to the marriage information the "married someone" wording was kept on the wording tab. 9. When I ran the ancestor report the wording was "X married someone Y". 10. After I edited the marriage and saved it without making any changes to the date/place the marriage wording tab was changed to "married" and the ancestor report wording became "X married Y". Now for the 64$ question. Is that a BUG or user error? Brian Customer Support Millennia Corporation br...@legacyfamilytree.com http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com We are changing the world of genealogy!
