I think it is less confusing to use the first marriage date, keep the full siblings on one group sheet and explain separation time (divorce-remarriage-whatever) in general notes in case sources or marriage events are lost in file transfers.
Multiple marriages to the same individual might be changed by file transfers to non-Legacy programs used for wall charts, web sites and sharing data with other researchers. Some genealogy programs do not report an accurate relationship difference for siblings with one common parent vs. two common parents. None of the genealogy programs (that I know about) keep the custom child-mother and child-father sources from Legacy 5 or 6. -- Elizabeth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Geoff > 2) Add a new spouse to the husband, but link him to the same women, thus > creating two marriages, two family group records, and two MRINs.
