Re: [LegacyUG] How to enter the following.

2016-02-23 Thread June

Sorry to all, I’m not explaining this very well am I.

 

I have all people EXCEPT David Smith. I can’t work out how to put him on making 
him the first cousin of Simon Smith because I don’t have either David or 
Simon’s parents.

 

I know it should be simple – I know what cousins are but it’s just escaping me. 
Thanks for your help

 

June

June,

I'm not clear whether you have David Smith and Hannah in your database.

When you know the relationship but not the connecting people, you can enter 
placeholder people to hold them together. 

Is Hannah the daughter of John Jones first wife? and you don't know her name? 
Just enter Hannah and link her to her father. That will create a new 
relationship for the father. You'll need to order marriages.

As Wendy says, be careful you don't enter someone twice. 

This is a useful Support article if you find you've made some linking errors.

Hi June,

So you've got everyone entered into your database, but you haven't yet
linked Simon SMITH to his wife Hannah JONES?

With Simon in the spouse area in Family View, right-click in the
wife's area and then click on "Add a wife", and then in the next
window that appears, click on "Link to an EXISTING person". You'll
then see the Name List, where you can navigate to Hannah and select her.

Alternatively, you can right-click on Simon and select Add > Wife.

Or, via the menus, click on Add > Add Wife.

Or, via keyboard shortcuts, press AW (for Add Wife).

Whichever route you take, the key is to link to an existing person,
instead of adding a new person.

Hope this helps. :-)

Thank you - June

John Smith's daughter Mary married John Jones (widower) - that is all ok
and all are on my data base.

John and Mary Jones had a son - Jack Jones - also on my data base and no
problem.

Jack Jones married Beatrice daughter of Simon Smith. - ok and on my data
base

Simon Smith was a first cousin of David Smith who married as his
second wife
Hannah the daughter of the above John Jones.

Thanks for the reply Wendy - what I don't have on the data base is David
Smith (the first cousin of Simon Smith) - I want to enter him so he comes up
as Simon's first cousin rather than enter him as just a separate person -
but for the life of me my mind is not working as to how to connect them as
cousins given that I don't have parents for either.

Hopefully I am making sense.

Thank you - June
