You can add the word Unknown to the name field [Legacy will tell you this is an error but you can override it]. If you are adding children to this marriage you will have no choice but to put the word unknown [or some other word] in the name field or it won't let you add children. To make Legacy accept your unknown without causing an error, what you can do is after you add the children you can delete the spouse and it will replace your unknown with the Legacy default unknown which it likes better, but you can only do this if there are children. > 4.

You need to add the name that is on Friedrich's "Geburtsurkunde" or in his "Stammbuch" which will be Friedrich Carl Schwonke in the primary name field. Charles Schowonke should be added in the AKA field. michele 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 **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
