Stuart: I wouldn’t. In Legacy you already have an automatic DUNLAP father for your ancestor. I’d put what you know about both of these men in Research Notes, maybe create some To Do items, and go to work finding more data to confirm or contradict the connection.
Kirsten From: Duncan family Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2011 2:47 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] 2 entries or 2 DOB for one entry Hi Recent research has revealed that a line of ancestors may not be as previously thought. 1. Scotland:- a John Ferguson Duncan was born on 6 July 1828 in Campbeltown, Scotland, the second child of Dunlop and Jean/ Jenn Duncan, and christened on 7 July 1828 in Campbeltown, Scottish census records show Dunlop Duncan to be a Painter. John Ferguson Duncan does not appear on Census data after 1841. I have found no other records (including emigration / shipping) after 1841. 2. Sydney, Australia:- a John Ferguson Duncan (according to newspaper articles) died in 1873, aged 39, which puts his birth around 1834. John Ferguson Duncan’s death certificate lists his father (Dunlop Duncan) as a Brewer. I am a new user of Legacy (v 7.5) and have inherited Legacy data from my mother. My question is: Should I create 2 separate John Ferguson and Dunlop Duncan’s entries or one entry for each and make notes on discrepancies.
