RE: [LegacyUG] Adding a Husband as Unknown
Thanks to all the replies, it worked first time of course, but I'm dismayed that I couldn't see the answer myself. But as Richard suggests it's always an idea to write the RIN down of the unlinked individual before plunging in. Thanks Again Dave Cripps in Tasmania Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] Adding a Husband as Unknown
What you need to do, in general, is, take unlink all
the 'wrong' links, take the child and link the mother
{alone} as a parent. The father will be either
'blank' or 'unknown' per your choices.
When doing Unlinking, I always print out, or hand
write, all the RINs in advance.

RE: [LegacyUG] Adding a Husband as Unknown
Or unlink the child from the current parents and then choose Add mother and link to existing person. That will create another "marriage" with blank/unknown spouse depending on your setting in Options > Customise.
