RE: [LegacyUG] Bigamy
I have an extreme case of a man with 14 wives, many of them simultaneous, and 37 children. These were all legal as he was an early leader of the Mormon church in Utah. Makes for a lengthy chronology/timeline. I don't think I've had a case of illegal bigamy, but I think I would enter them as a marriage with a note on the marriage record. The note does show on the Chronology Tab and if the option is selected on the Chronology page(s) of the Individual Report. One thing I've noticed is that the marriage status info shows up as an annotation on the marriage event on the Chronology Tab and on the Chronology page(s) of the Individual Report. On the latter, the option to include it needs to be selected. Death of a spouse will show up separately in its place on the timeline, but a divorce or annulment has to be redundantly entered as a separate event in order to show at its own place on the timeline. -Original Message- From: Michele/Support [mailto:mich...@legacyfamilytree.com] Sent: Monday, November 11, 2013 6:36 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Bigamy Sue, I will tell you what I did in my own family where this happened.

Sue, A bigamous marriage is not a marriage (U.K.).
