I think there are at least 4 logical places:
1) In the death notes
2) In notes to a funeral event
3) In notes to a burial event
4) if you want to be really precise, create a custom funeral
home/undetaker event. You could then use the event address to record the
full address of the home

Art, Glad all is now OK. I would have mentioned Registry Mechanic which I
also use under those circumstances but Sherry shouts at me when I do! For
the benefit of others I would stress that Registry Mechanic is a register
cleaner and *not* a register editor. That latter I would not recommend.
Linda, now that I can understand and broadly agree with.

Map My Family Tree does not show historical boundaries at the present time.
We are aware of the interest in historical maps, since most of a
person's family history happened in the past. This enhancement is on our list.

I must say that I agree with everything you say. I think you still miss my

Hello Jennie
That's good lateral thinking, Jennie! Works well, of course, and is very
quick to execute. I was hoping for a global search as I wasn't at all sure
the location 'Bowning' was in a 'location' field but rather in 'notes'
somewhere.
Thanks for the help

Since about then 1920's, fostering and adopting hav
become more documented. The time when these events
take place determines more if papers exist. If in the
era when a court did create a foster or adoption, you
SHOULD get the documentaion. If closed ask the family
member for a copy, if you dare.
So, with all of this talk about documenting foster children for future
generations, in the context of how to document this using Legacy; I notice
if you print a Descendancy Book, you have the option of adding the
relationship of a child (if you want to see everyone's relationship), or
adding it to
I heard back from teh people I contacted at the NGS, TAG, and NEHGS, and all
said that as far as they know no such rules exist, and the editor of
National Genealogical Society Quarterly wanted my source of any information
that the rules we've been debating here exist.
He said that in reality,

I looked on all of those sites for these rules and could not find any rules
at all. As I posted (I think).
Meanwhile, NGS, NEHGS and TAG have all responded to me that no such rules
exist. The editor of the NGS Quarterly asked me to give him my sources for
thinking differently.

Richard, what did the rules you learned for writing term papers in high
school specifically say about whether adopted children can be included in
genealogical reports?

Paul, I looked through these last night.
I can't find anythign at all to do with proper formats for genealogical
reports, and I also could find no discussion about multiple spouses, step
children, adopted children, and foster children.
I looked at standards for sound genealogical research,
Send them a GEDCOM or a report, Tim.
A chart is just that, a list of names, and usually it is written for a
specific and very narrow reason.

I have been away from Legacy and Genealogy for several months. I know I have
seen how to show an adopted child so that they print out properly but I am
not doing it right as I get a double printout of the person. I have the
relationships set correctly for both marriages. I am using Legacy 5
To clarify a little, the young man is my niece's son by her first marriage
which ended in divorce. Her second husband legally adapted the son and he
goes by the adaptive father's name of course.

If you have the options set to show half relationships, the young man will
show up twice in reports It is kind of a quirk of legacy that makes a
bit of sense - but not at first basically they are showing up once for
the first marriage, and once for the second marriage...
I have the
Actually I can understand this but when it lists the generation, 3rd generation
for instance, it also lists him twice in a row in duplication. This is the
entry that is bothering the principal genealogist for the family.

The rules I was refering to were actually the rules
for footnotes and source documentation in general
(term papers), not the 'side' issue of who belongs in
a family. What we are actually discussing, IMHO, is
the difference between genealogy (DNA based) and
family history (legal documentation).
I wish I had nothing more to do than respond to messages about 'foster children', Dora.
You obviously have more time than I do.

In my Options-Customize-Dates I have it set to check formatting of
dates as they are entered and note any that are questionable.
I've entered a date 1996 to present and expected the pop-up check.
But I keep clicking Accept this date entry and continue future
warnings and it pops back up again.
