Then you could add the other possible parents by putting the person in the
current person view then clicking on the parents icon and add parents in the
window that pops up.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Family Tree 8 Revealed - Q/A, new Tagging
options, and other surprises
I like the below suggestion - obvious in all reports. But that POSSIBLE would
show up for ALL children and it may only be one child that you are unsure of.Â
Another option:
In family view, right click on ANY child
Select CHILDREN'S SETTINGS
Hi-lite the appropriate child
Under RELATIONSHIP TO FATHER (or MOTHER), you can create your own options -
click the down arrow and a new window pops up
Click ADD
Put in POSSIBLE PARENTÂ (side note - I preface my own manual entries with a
period (.Possible Parent), or you could make them all CAPS or some such other
indicator. This reminds me that it is not a pre-canned item. Since I added
it some wordings and such may need tweaking.)
I really wish Legacy allowed us the OPTION of having this box come up on every
child add (just like the Marriage window auto-pops up when adding a spouse).Â
This way we could remember to set if it is a "blood-line" (Biological) child or
some other relationship.
I also wish this would show up in the child's listing on Family View (as an
option). You'd think that going to OPTIONS, CUSTOMIZE, VIEW, SHOW STATUS ON
FAMILY VIEW would cause this to happen, but it doesn't. And I think I ran
into a report or two where I wish this could optionally show up - but I could
be wrong about that.
Do not get RELATIONSHIP TO xxx mixed up with CHILD STATUS that is also on this
screen. Use CHILD STATUS for something that pertains ONLY to the child (twin,
still-born, etc). (I originally was putting "guardianship" in the CHILD
STATUS field, but that ended up not working well because it implied that
relationship for both parents.)

Geoff,
Excited to see the new version and it's looking super. Â If I Â may make a
suggestion- someday I should like to see an enhancement that would solve many
problems for me: Â I have several ancestors for whom I have POSSIBILITIES as
their parent - but nothing set in stone. Â Is it not possible to have a
category of "parent possibility" or some such name, which would link to an
ancestor SEVERAL people as prospective fathers or mothers? Â It would need to
have an option to print or not print of course, so that a print out might say:
Candidates for the father of Joe Jones are:
   Jim Jones (RIN#), born 1744, etc., etc.Â
   Jerry Jones (RIN)#, died 1682 in Portugal, etc. etc.
   Jeffrey Jones, (RIN#)  living next to Joe in the 1800 census.
I realize that it is possible to manually type in the above information,
but when I haven't worked on a person for a while, it would be helpful for
research to review the possibilities. It would seem (to someone who knows
nothing whatever about programming and development) that links to several
persons who MAY be parents could be done. Â Something I have needed for a long,
long, time.
Thanks for listening.
