Hi Scott,
You might also consider the additional step that Russ suggested and just put
in the surname (Bulmer) for the mother and leave for now the given name blank or
what I do is enter N. N. (no name). This is presuming that the Bulmer label is
that of the mother and not from another part of the family. And I have a few in
my files just like the one you created...so was quite familiar on leaving one of
the "parents" blank. Have a couple unmarried females with childen where the
childs surname is listed in the records with that of the mother, so that just
requires an edit of the child record's surname to select that of the mother.

Hi Gene,
You took me into a whole new realm on this one. Followed your instructions
(step by step :-) ) and really worked out well. Exactly what I was looking
for. I must say, I didn't even know you could display relationships like that.
Thank you for your time and detailed instructions. Very much appreciated.
With thanks,
Scott B

Scott,
Another way to do it would be to go to William’s screen and add a wife with just
the surname of Bulmer (the listed surname of the child and easier to check for a
birth record also), then when the marriage screen opens put a check mark in the
box “This couple did not marry”. In the marriage date put about 1878 and then
in place use the census location. Change the status box to “Friends”. This will
change the labels so they don’t show Husband and Wife, but will show Male and
Female, will show the date and place (Friends) (Did not marry) and will show
“Partnership” on any reports. Then create the child Maud Mary Bulmer. Then
source all of these to the 1881 census. Then create the AKA for Maud M. Marsh
and cite the 1891 census, and an AKA for Maud Marsh Hingley and cite the 1901
census. So now you have a father and a mother with an unknown first name. You
could do a search in the 1871 census for the Bulmer surname to see if you find
any candidates for a female around the same age as William and see if the Marsh
family is also in the same area. If the child was in the Marsh home and William
was the father, perhaps the mother died in childbirth and there may also be a
death record to search for.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Entering adoptions
Scott,
To properly do this [in my opinion], is to attach Maud to her true father
William [even if he was only 16 at the time] and with an unknown [for now]
mother. Legacy can handle this and when you go back to William and look at the
child settings, you can then select from the list that Maud was illegitimate.
She will show as Maud M. Marsh due to her fathers surname, and if done properly,
Elizabeth Marsh should show up as her grandmother. You can add the name changes
under the AKA label, and show the source as the 1901 census for the Maud Marsh
Hingley entry.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Entering adoptions
Hoping someone can guide me thru how to enter the following information
correctly.
William Henry Marsh b1862 has an illegitimate child, Maud Mary Bulmer, in 1878.
She appears as a boarder in the 1881 census with William, his siblings and
mother, Elizabeth Marsh (a widow). In 1888 William marries and moves on, but
Maud appears in the 1891 census as Maud M Marsh, daughter of William's mother,
and in 1901, after Elizabeth Marsh marries Timothy Hingley, Maud appears as Maud
Marsh Hingley.
I sure would appreciate some help. When I try to do it, it begins to look like
Elizabeth had 3 husbands and one was her son....not good!
Thank you for any help,
Scott B
