Ward, The optional check boxes are opitonal. If you don't want to designate a person as having no "marriage" records linked (and therefore no offspring linked) then don't check the optional box in the individual record. If there are marriage records linked and those unions produced no children but you don't want to designate that for the marriage then don't check the optional box in the marriage record. No one is forcing you to use those optional boxes. The point of the box in the individual record is to state that there are no marriage records connected and therefore no offspring. The point of the marriage record box is to state that no offspring resulted from the union. If you don't have evidence for that information, don't use the optional check boxes. Ron Taylor
