Sally, If you want a visual cue in your database in the form of colour you might consider using the uncertain gender option. In the Individual information window , next to the Title suffix box there are three radio buttons , M , F and ?. Even if you know the gender of the individual you could

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

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

When I have a situation like this, I add the child to the possible parents and make the child's status "challenged". You can change the child's status under "Children's Settings" (I don't have Legacy open, so I am working from memory). In the Family tab, right-click on any of the children and ch
