Re: [LegacyUG] Entering a sibling without parents

[jmarrone email]

Can someone please take me off this list. I do not use the Legacy program and 
I’m not sure how I got on the list. I have been receiving about 10 emails 
everyday. Thanks. Nadine

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Entering a sibling without parents

 

I am new to legacy but I have for sometime used the technique of entering an 
unknown female spouse as"LNAME". In other words, I place quotation marks around 
the known last name of the husband. If I later learn the correct maiden name I 
just replace it. For males where I do not know a first name I generally leave 
it blank and then later correct it when i get the information.

Hope this may help others.

In a past existence (Legacy 7.5) it was possible, with a parent-less person on
show in the Family tab, to double-click on the empty parents and have the
program 'create' blank parents. You could then add a sibling to the original,
parent-less person. No parents were actually created. This no longer seems to
work under version 8.0

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering a sibling without parents

[Ruth Frank]

I have a master source that I use when I add a person to add another.  It
is created using the template for personal knowledge. The title for the
source is person added to add child.

I also do the same thing if I have a women's married name and don't know
who her husband is.  The title for that source is person added using wife's
married name.

This clearly documents people I have added by assuming the information from
information I have.  It is also easy to bring up the people using the
sources by searching people using the source.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering a sibling without parents

[Anne Lo Forte Willson]

All good ideas here. I wanted to toss one out that has a slightly different 
use.  I use the Spanish upside down question mark at the beginning with a right 
side up question mark at the end.  So for these two sisters, if I knew their 
maiden name I would add their father with just their maiden name as his 
surname.  If I had a given name that I thought might be the father, I would add 
that with the question marks around it.  I can't do this on my tablet, or I 
would show you.

This is required only if linking the son to the mother/father via the 
relevant parent as an Existing son - not required if working from son's 
profile and adding mother/father as an 'existing person'.

I would Add:  New Unlinked Individual;  and create Nicolaus' profile - I 
would then decide if his link to the chosen family is thru' his father 
or mother, and take note of their Rin.No.
Back to Nicolaus' new profile, right click empty space at top for either 
mother or father, click Add Mother/Father and enter the relevant 
parent's Rin.No. ( It should leave the father's name blank, or rather 
leave the space empty for later in case you find Nicolaus' father, say, 
was in fact from a second union by his mother, so you can right-click 
and pop the new daddy in.)This will show as the 2nd "m" , and when 
you click on m1 for him/her, sitting there as 1/2 siblings, should be 
Maria and Susanna.


If you lata find Nicolaus is in fact a full brother to Maria and 
Susanna, go to parents' in Family View and
Add: Nicolaus as An Existing Person.   then remove Nicolaus from the m2  
link from the relevant parent, and then delete the marriage link 
attached to eith the father/mother.


If Nicolas, Maria and Susanna had other sisters and brothers, their 
surname and/or married names known but christian names not - I enter 
each as Miss with their m.names in brackets after e.g. Miss (m.Smith); 
Mr (m.Brown) just to make it a little quicker/easier to recognise later 
when further details emerge, removing this reference later if/when 
desired.  If I do not know someone's surname., I enter their Christian 
names into the Surname Box, so they're searchable in the Index.


Hope all that's clearer than mud.

There is a reason I put the mother in, instead of the father. That reason is 
called old age. :) There are times when I don't necessarily think things 
through before doing them. But it makes sense to put the father in as Mr. 
Schommer. It can always be changed if something unexpected turns up.
I have strong reasons to believe that Nicolaus Schommer is a brother to Maria 
and Susanna, but I have no hard proof. So he is left out for now, but he is 
mentioned in other areas why I think he is a brother. Since I haven't added him

Thanks for the replies. They make a lot of sense.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering a sibling without parents

[Perk Bingham]

I agree Tom, with the exception of the instance of where the child's 
surname is known, in that case I simply put it (the surname) in the 
appropriate place for the father and change it if I ever come upon the 
correct one.


I don't think there /has/ to be a marriage record at all.

It works well for me at least.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering a sibling without parents

[Martha Graham]

Good Evening,
Years ago, I made up a system for folks for whom I had only one name, 
either Given or Surname or no names at all.

For the women with a given name:: Anna Nomaid
For the men: John Nolast
For a male with no names at: Nofirst Nolast
For a female with no names: Nofirst Nomaid

This works very well, and for reasons that become clear when someone 
swipes my work, it is identified by the unusual way I formatted the 
unknown's in my data.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering a sibling without parents

[William Boswell]

I couldn't reply to your attached message so I have to do it here.

When I don't know the parent's names, I just put the child's last name for
the father because this was the only way I could keep the siblings together.
In some cases, I never did find out who the parents were.

You can always go back and fix it when you find the true parents.  The only
problem with this is if you have a lot of the same surname with no first
name then it might get confusing in the list, but that never bothered me
since clicking on the name will show who they belong to.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering a sibling without parents

I use LNU for last name of unknown males; MNU for last name of unknown
females, FNU for unknown first names.  So I would enter Maria's father as
FNU Schommer and his wife as FNU MNU.  So no problems adding Maria's
siblings.

Is Schommer their maiden name? Or did both marry men named Schommer? If
that is their maiden name, I would give a parent whose last name is
Schommer.

[LegacyUG] Entering a sibling without parents

For a long time, because of several strong indications, I was reasonably sure 
that Susanna Schommer was a sister to my g-grandmother, Maria Schommer. Now I 
finally have proof of that. When I went to enter a sibling for Maria, I 
recieved a message saying that siblings cannot be entered without first having 
a parent.
I have no information whatsoever as to what their parents' names were, so in my 
mind, not entering a sibling would be a sin. She needs to be there so someone 
other than myself could have a shot of finding something I couldn't yet find. 
So I entered a mother with the given name of "Not", and the surname of "Known". 
The sibling was then added successfully. Has anyone else had this problem, and 
if so, how did you handle it?
