I guess its just the way my brain works.
Well, you don't have to assign things only to one family member. You can add the same Event/Source to several people. You can also, as someone else said, add an Event to the Marriage, which means you will not have a lot of repetition. I sometimes think that Marriage Events might better be termed as Family Events and then people might be more inclined to think of them in that way. Up to now I have duplicated nearly all Events which relate to a husband and wife (and possibly children) by entering them for each Individual, but now I think I could make quite a good case for entering most post-marriage Events as Marriage/Family Events. The main objection to that is that without some program changes by Legacy you would not get all the post-marriage Events on an Individual Report. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: 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
