[LegacyUG] Questionable children

No, not speaking of behavior, I have a family that has seven children, born between 1765 & 1784, all well researched. Another researcher has an eighth child that he shows born abt 1790. I have some serious reservations since Mom would have been 50 by then, Dad had three brothers (that I know of)

That's a good idea, too. Challenged isn't one of the status options but, as you said, it can be added. Now, if we could assign a color to these children at the same time Thank you for sharing your solution. Sally On 2/22/2010 3:59 PM, Terri Brown wrote: > When I have a situation like this

Found it, thanks. Since asking the question the other researcher got back to me & admitted that he had no idea why he put that child there or where he got the name from. But, I've learned a lot in the asking. Thanks again, Sally On 2/22/2010 11:21 PM, Terri Brown wrote: > Correction - The Chal
