When I want to connect children together who I know to be related, I just create a surname for the father and/or mother and Mr. or Mrs. for the given name even though Legacy gives me an error message. I guess putting some form of “No Name” is probably the better alternative.

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.

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.
