Hi Brian, I actually change the "Alt Birth" event to "Disproven Birth". I don't add a new one. Then in that event's notes, I explain why I'm disproving it.
For me, it's important to keep the Disproven Birth event in case I need it for research comparisons in the future. I also keep it in case other researchers claim their birth information is correct. If I retain the Disproven Birth information in my event/fact list, I can easily respond to them. Finally, I will often mark the Disproven Birth event as private, so in my polished reports, this event doesn't "get in the way".

Hi, In the Legacy Training video "Researching with Legacy: Events and Chronologies" Geoff Rasmussen gives an example of a person having conflicting birth information. So, he creates an event titled "Alt Birth". This I understand and can do. However he goes on to say that afterwards if one resolves the conflict that one should enter a new event called "Disproven birth". I cannot find this in the Events list. How do others handle it when a conflict, such as a birth year, is resolved? Should I create a custom event called "Disproven birth"?
