Can someone please take me off this list. I do not use the Legacy program and I’m not sure how I got on the list. I have been receiving about 10 emails everyday. Thanks. Nadine

In other words, I place quotation marks around the known last name of the husband. If I later learn the correct maiden name I just replace it. For males where I do not know a first name I generally leave it blank and then later correct it when i get the information. Hope this may help others.

Now I finally have proof of that. When I went to enter a sibling for Maria, I recieved a message saying that siblings cannot be entered without first having a parent. I have no information whatsoever as to what their parents' names were, so in my mind, not entering a sibling would be a sin. She needs to be there so someone other than myself could have a shot of finding something I couldn't yet find. So I entered a mother with the given name of "Not", and the surname of "Known". The sibling was then added successfully. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how did you handle it? In a past existence (Legacy 7.5) it was possible, with a parent-less person on show in the Family tab, to double-click on the empty parents and have the program 'create' blank parents. You could then add a sibling to the original, parent-less person. No parents were actually created. This no longer seems to work under version 8.0 -- Regards, Mike Fry (Jhb) _______________________________________________ LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com
