[LegacyUG] Tricking Legacy into accepting a second unknown spouse

All: This may have been addressed by this group already, but I wanted to share a workaround I use for adding a 2nd spouse whose name is unknown to Legacy, as you can not directly save a person without adding something to the name fields. I don't like using or any other indicator in the fields, I

Thelma, I have been looking at the 112 reports that Legacy creates, but I am sorry to say none of them give counts by relationships. Jim Legacy Family Tree Technical Support Original Message > From: "Thelma Martin" > Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 2015 7:41 PM > To: legacyusergroup@

Re: [LegacyUG] Tricking Legacy into accepting a second unknown spouse

Hi Scott, If you know there is a second spouse but no offspring, then you have some information even if you don't have a name - so I'd use Given Name - blank or Mrs Smith or second wife of husband's name; Surname - [[husband's surname]] and add the source to the "name". I guess you could just add
