Happens all the time. Don't change the 'dead' date. Go to Potential Problems and check for the program to ignore that person. Rich in LA CA - Original Message From: "cagr...@comporium.net" To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Wed, December 16, 2009 2:23:25 PM Subject: RE: [Legacy

I would not, but there are no genealogy police out there checking your work. IMHO, there are marriages on two dates, a divorce-type date inbetween, and no mention of the children from each. I would use the same RIN-RIN for each marriage. Steve married Sue 1979; Steve divorced Sue 1989;  Steve ma

I put the transcribed census in the Event notes. These are choices not rules. I have been doing this for decades and won't change my system.  The important part is that future recievers of your info can understand it, and prove it. Rich in LA CA From: "1eagle.

Treat as a marriage to different people, having each wedding date. Put the children in the correct marriage (if).  The screens may look weird,  but will be accurate. Rich in LA CA From: "bohemian1...@gmail.com" To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Wed, D

I use a source naming system, so I can tell quickly. All locality ones (county vital records) are USA, State, County, City. All books are by first listed author, then book name. Websites are by the address. Letters by author and date: Smith, John 24112009. I had to change names to match my plan.
