Thanks Cathy, I switch programs depending on my goals; but for now Legacy is the one. I am entering all of my research into one program and Legacy has the best data entry for preliminary research, other than some very complicated programs. I also do not like to use the narrative sentences for othe

Hi Beth, Using the Child-Parent relationship, is a great idea. You can add other categories like "Unproven" to the default list. However, for major lines in my tree, I like to add something to the name so it's obvious on the Family View that the relationships aren't proven. If you don't want y

Hi Beth, There is no neat way to handle this. You could choose to live with an extra spouse, adding notes to the spouse to indicate she doesn't exist. It may help to call her to help make this clear. The other alternative is assign them to a particular partnership and add notes to indicate t
