RE: [LegacyUG] The new Invisible in Legacy 7
I have one male family member who had an illegitimate child who is alive. But the mother later married someone in the family. I have now marked mother and child as Invisible but it does mean that the later marriage to someone else does not appear. It's not crucial but just shows how relationships can get quite complicated!

Martin, That should be the case - is it? Why not just make the child invisible - unless there are other family problems?

RE: [LegacyUG] The new Invisible in Legacy 7
I had previously just left out the relationship but decided it is better to record everything accurately in my personal copy then use Invisible to hide in copies exported.

RE: [LegacyUG] The new Invisible in Legacy 7
Martin, This situation is where you use private marriage and private child-parent relationship. The relationship between your male family member (father) and the mother should be marked as private. Mark his relationship with child as private. As the mother is visible to the family, she should not be marked as invisible or private. How to set her relationship with the child is based on the visibility of the child. If the child is living with the mother and visible to the family, then let the child's relation to mother not be private and child not be invisible or private. If the child is not visible - eg, was adopted out of the family, then it is appropriate to make the child invisible and make the relationship between the child and the mother private. Does this make sense? john. At 06:33 AM 7/3/2008, Martin Briscoe wrote: I have one male family member who had an illegitimate child who is alive. But the mother later married someone in the family.

Pat, As it says, in theory everything is shown/printed as though that person never existed. In other words there would be no place to put the word Living.

Pat Jones wrote Has anyone used the invisible option for some people in their database yet? I hadn't done, but have just tried it, prompted by your question. If so, is everything about the person including the name, etc., just missing in a printout or is everythng except the name missing? It does just what it says on the tin! Living people are excluded as if they never existed. Curious why you used it as well rather than just marking them living. I don't know that I would want to, but I can conceive of circumstances where someone would want to create a report to give to someone else where a certain person was excluded - for example, someone might not want their grandmother to know that their sibling had had an illegitimate child. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
RE: [LegacyUG] The new Invisible in Legacy 7
If you have someone who is born of an illegitimate relationship then if you just made them private their name could be revealed because of other members of the family who are visible - in the past deceased parents, children or spouses of a private or hidden Living person will be visible.
