: [LegacyUG] How to manage the uncertain hint/tips/leads?
(an aside to my Knight in shining armor thread)
I am trying to determine the best way to utilize Legacy (if at all) in
the uncertain situations - such as a family history claiming
Knighthood in the ancestry.

James, I always enter the people. I haven't really gotten into using the
To-Dos, and I started with Legacy a long time ago (before To-Dos?), so I
generally write up the hypothesis
James:
I have similar situations in my family tree where I have some very rare
surnames and come across ancestors that are very likely connected, but I
haven't yet established a connection. Here are a couple of ideas for you:
1) Create a secondary family file that is separate from your main
I enter the people with a warning and for events I use Speculation, I
also use Family story G which has things like My Grandmother always
said... Now my grandmother is running at 90% and the ones I have not
proven are further back than I have gotten so far! G

That's the beauty of Legacy! It is very flexible. I've been using it since v

Sometimes I have deleted info/persons when I found that was

Legacy is very good, perhaps unmatched, to organize material for reports,
document fact related to known data (sources etc.), and it helps discipline
users towards better scholarship. I wouldn't say it's useless, but it's
certainly been comparatively poor support for doing research, as
