So how do we define "proof" anyway? I have seen birth certificates that are
wrong, etc. Generally what we have is a preponderance of evidence. In the
case below, assuming there are multiple siblings who match the correct
names, ages and birth order, what you have is multiple data points all in

Thanks for the tip! Doesn't do much for Event Addresses, however, which is
where I put cemeteries, directions, etc.

There have been several good ideas, but I think your suggestion of using the
Marriage Status field will work best in my situation.

Ron,
Somewhere - could be a footnote or in parentheses after the location. An
option, so that when I create reports and want the details I have worked so
laboriously on, I can have them.
For instance:
1. Master Location: Battle of Arkinholm, Langholm, Dumfriesshire, Scotland
Notes: George, 4
I add a new child status called "Perhaps" and attach it to the child in
question. This then appears on the Family screen and lets me know
immediately that there is some doubt. For marriages I do the same thing -
make a Status entry of Perhaps, or Probable, which also appears on the
family screen. I
Carolyn,
Master Location notes actually can be printed. If you create a
location index in reports there is an option to include the location
notes in that index. They can also be included in the Location Report.
That said, I only use the location notes field for things like
directions to cemeteries
Ward,
Notwithstanding my comments in earlier posts I have wondered the same myself,
it would seem sensible to me for not to break in mid-word to be the default. I
have never got round to suggesting this, but as I always check the box it would
remove the chance of me forgetting!

Sorry for the late reply. I was away.
The short answer is no. I had not checked that checkbox option, so the
export broke lines in mid-word, as expected. For most types of GEDCOM
records, the import properly reconstructed those broken words. For the

Carolyn,
As you will realise, I don't use the Notes fields for Locations (and obviously
for Addresses). However, each Location is attached to an Event and each Event
has a Note field into which I put everything I wish to put about the location.
For example my grandfather fought in WW1 and sa
I have a similar situation on my paternal grandfather's line. He was,
according to family story, sent to an orphanage by his father after his
mother died in childbirth. I have found a family of children admitted to an
orphanage in the right time frame, with siblings with same names etc.

Russ -
What I do is enter the family and use a "?" in the "Title prefix" box,
explaining it in Research Notes. I do it this way to keep the family
together without having to remember that I have their info somewhere else.
It also "flags" the fact that there is a broken or unconfirmed link.

Is there a trick to using landscape printing in Pedigree Charts?
I have been through all the printer properties, printer setup menus that I

'portrait' - the 'landscape is greyed out' in the page set-up. (Using

Russ,
I record them as a separate family with a note on each family to show how they
may be connected. Actually Islay is so small that all families with the same
name are probably connected.
Come to think about they are probably all related :-) Or were years ago

I just lost information that I entered in Legacy 7.
I entered some impute into my database and than clicked file, open new

earlier was gone. OOPS

Agreed - even if you're not having funBut here, I think that the
assumption is that if we can enter something, we assume that the information
can be printed somehow.
We can enter Event Address notes, and we can enter notes for Master
Locations on the Add/Edit Location screen, but those notes c

How would you represent a "Best Fit" set of parents? This concerns a direct
ancestor from a small island in Scotland (Islay). The available records have
gaps such that his parents will likely never be known; but there is one
family that stands out as a "best fit" in terms of locations, dates, names
You are correct Dennis, in saying that I was referring to Pedigree Web pages.
My tiscali site is actually a Family Group site, but since I don't have
anything in the Address Book I haven't looked at using them it for Family
Group, or any other style of Web Page for that matter :-)

Yes, that's the option I wrote about in my second mail, don't forget
