Yes, I found that out while testing this issue. Just closing the window Legacy will assume that there is a marriage but you have no marriage info to enter. Yes, I found that out also. IMHO Legacy should not assume so much until WE say it is so. If Legacy Family Tree software, has an issue with us, the default should be a pop-up and ask. This same procedure should be adhered to for all screens. If THERE IS A CANCEL button use that and not the X to close if you have not entered any data or don’t want the changes saved as this will happen when the window is closed with the X button. Closing a window with X when NO data has been entered should be the same as Cancel. OK, I can adjust to Legacy's way, but I don't believe it is NOT standard across all software. But I may be wrong and it is a very small issue I can live with. Legacy, even with its faults, is still the best. It isn't perfect.

In the real world we have many unwed mothers and unwed fathers. I have a similar issue as Pat's. I have a man and a women who had a child. The couple did not marry each other. But Legacy labels them Husband and Wife. Unlinking Husband from Wife also UNLINKS the Father from his child. BAD. I smell a bug. This should not happen. The Mother is still linked to their child and is Wife to Husband Unknown. Unlinking the Mother from Unknown Husband UNLINKED her from her child also. Equally BAD and should not happen. These 3 people are biologically linked in real life, but NOT by marriage and therefore not by Legacy. Second case: I just clicked on a child, labeled Male. Then I clicked on Marriage Information and did not enter anything. I clicked on the X to close Marriage Information. When I came back to the child, who had died shortly after birth, he was labeled Husband. And Legacy had married him to a Wife with the name Unknown. I unlinked the pair successfully per your instructions and the little fellow is now no longer a husband. Thank you. Your statement If she had children then there must be a marriage to create the link between her and her children ... may be true for you in Legacy, but in the real world this assumption is often false. This situation could be corrected by not labeling parents as Husband and Wife until WE, your customers, enter the necessary data into Marriage Information. IMHO this is a bug in Legacy's programming.

RE: [LegacyUG] problem with unmarried
Mike, I wonder if the issue is the version Jim is using. His sig on his first post, and also pointed out by someone, states that he is using V5. Deluxe. This ability to control labels and wordings sounds like the sort of enhancement that would be made as new versions are released. If that's the case, upgrading to V7 is the solution.

Re: [LegacyUG] problem with unmarried
The ability to change wording for marriages is a new feature in Version 7. It does not exist in versions before that so any discussion of labels for unmarried couples and the wording of sentences for unmarried couples will only apply to Version 7. Karen and Jim indicate they are using Version 5.0 Deluxe. We stopped making changes to that version after Legacy 6.0 was released. The final version of Legacy 5.0 was issued 12 Dec 2006 There were three versions of Legacy 5 released after the issue of Legacy 6.0 in August 2005. In Jan 2006 we added a new PDF creator and made a change to keep Legacy 5 current with a change to the IGI log in from FamilySearch.org. In May we updated the file format to keep it compatible with Legacy 6.0 and in Dec 2006 we fixed some issues with the Calendar Creator. As Mike says below, the only bug reports that we consider and enter into our problem reporting system are those which can be confirmed in the latest release of Legacy 7.0. Those who continue to use older versions just have to accept the limitations inherent in older software. Brian Customer Support Millennia Corporation br...@legacyfamilytree.com http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com -- Mike: Keep in mind that you are replying to someone who is using V5.

Re: [LegacyUG] problem with unmarried
Brian, This is good to know. Thanks Brian. I'll tag your email as a keeper. For now I can live with this issue. As y'all know now, I'm still using v.5 Deluxe on an old PC that would be retired in business. This pc does only Legacy. No Internet connection. I've cleaned up M$ Windoz XP for speed. My needs here are simple. Mostly data entry and reports for relatives. And I like speed. And until now I've found no reason to upgrade. And the changes Brian has mentioned below are not worth the time and expense for me to upgrade. But if v.7+ is faster, then ...

The request to have two separate settings, one for never married and another for had no children has been argued on our tester email list.

Re: [LegacyUG] problem with unmarried
Biology 101: In human reproduction there is always an egg and a sperm! Whether the contributors were married, cohabited outside of marriage, had consensual sex, used artificial insemination, or any other means of bringing the egg and sperm together, there was still a female who contributed the egg and a male who contributed the sperm. That means there were names of those contributors to enter into Legacy, though they may not always be available to us as researchers. How we label the relationship between the two contributors is optional, but the method of fertilization being something other than the classic sexual relationship between two married heterosexual adults does not make either contributor go away, no matter how we think of them. There was always a mother and a father, or if you insist, a male and a female contributor. :-) John Zimmerman Mesa, AZ On 9/28/2012 11:01 AM, Pat Hickin wrote: Brian wrote, there must have been a relationship between a man and a woman to have a child.

Re: [LegacyUG] problem with unmarried
Since you have made an entry in the marriage info for this person Legacy has linked her to an unknown husband (The married someone comes from that link). If she truly never married and had no children then you should indicate that on the person's individual information screen not by setting a marriage status. If she had children then there must be a marriage to create the link between her and her children so my fix below cannot be used. Remove the marriage link by selecting the person, right click on her marriage info bar Select the Remove the marriage link option from the drop down menu Now edit the person and click the This individual never married and had no children option below the list of events.

Re: [LegacyUG] problem with unmarried
Thanks, Brian, I knew that option was somewhere but couldn't find it. However that brings up another matter, especially for men -- I may pretty well know that he never married, but he could certainly have fathered children that I know nothing about. I wish the option simply said He never married. and stopped at that.

Here is what Legacy has to say about her in a report: Jane married someone. Marriage status: unmarried in 1824. I presume you put a Marriage Status Date of 1824. To me, doing this implies that there was a time when she was married but became unmarried in 1824. If she was never married I would leave the Status blank. If she co-habited without marriage I would just check the box for This couple did not marry. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
