Thanks Charani Ron I think I will just use the research notes when I need to clarify proof. Ron, I will adopt your probability approach when I have negative proofs as I agree entirely with you on that. Why I am doing this... I am trying to look at my Family Tree as if a descendant 2+

Alan, Your last sentence is one one that everyone should really note, and illustrates one of the dangers of taking trees from user sites on the web. In many cases it will be found that they can be traced back to a single tree from which one or more people took incorrect data, which was then

Hi kb, Thanks for the tip on Bayesian probability. I must confess that the math is way beyond me these days (maybe alwaysJ) but the underlying broad principle is definitely something I can run with for some of my research. I agree that Legacy seems quite weak in the research log, notes

Amen to that! At the risk of being reprimanded as this is straying off topic, I have to add my bit about Ancestry and some of the messes I've found there - usually with no response when I've pointed out the errors. I have found Ancestry to be very useful, locating many people and facts I
