Hi Brian,
I believe the reason for an event of "Disproven Birth" is to record what you
have found and why. Generally this is used for an ancestor that often is
listed with one birth but you have tracked down proof that you believe
verifies the correct information. The 'disproven birth' event wil

plus trial and error to develop your own methods. For example, I don't use

Thanks for sharing your logic on this.
I've not done any GEDCOM files and really don't know much about them or
what they include or don't include.
For now I will follow your advice and put the transcription in both the

It is an honor to "meet" you after watching so many of your videos!
Thanks for the information and correcting my misunderstanding.

Brian,
I know that with Legacy it's a pretty steep learning curve, and one of the
great things about it, which also steepens the curve, is its flexibility.

doing things would affect the presentations. As my main int

Brian,
Here's my thoughts
I transcribe the information both as part of the source detail text and as
part of the event notes because I don't know in the future what I'm going to
do. Say in the future I want to share a GEDCOM file with someone else, but
don't want to include the events/facts.
Hi Brian,
I actually change the "Alt Birth" event to "Disproven Birth". I don't add a
new one. Then in that event's notes, I explain why I'm disproving it.
For me, it's important to keep the Disproven Birth event in case I need it
for research comparisons in the future. I also keep it in case oth

Good Morning Dave,

You will notice that I start each with C*. This groups all the cemeteries
