Re: [LegacyUG] Entering children when unknown which of the 2 spouses are the parent
Since there are separate child-parent relationships possible (to the father and to the mother) that would be difficult to display on screen in the family view.

Thanks, Beth G. - Original Message - From: "Cathy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Beth, Using the Child-Parent relationship, is a great idea. You can add other categories like "Unproven" to the default list. However, for major lines in my tree, I like to add something to the name so it's obvious on the Family View that the relationships aren't proven. If you don't want your addition to the name to print in reports, you can put it in privacy brackets. Cathy At 09:00 AM 12/08/2006, you wrote: Cathy, Thanks so much for the response.

Note that you are not restricted to just the entries on the list. You can click on Add and add "unproven" if you want that wording.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering children when unknown which of the 2 spouses are the parent
Hi Beth, There is no neat way to handle this. You could choose to live with an extra spouse, adding notes to the spouse to indicate she doesn't exist. It may help to call her to help make this clear. The other alternative is assign them to a particular partnership and add notes to indicate they may belong to the other marriage.
