Question about sourcing relationships.
I have a question about sourcing relationships, more specifically, the spouse relationship. It is easy to add a source to the child-parent relationship, but the only place I have found to source the spouse relationship is in the wedding section. But can I add a source if the document does not give any information about the wedding, just that X was the spouse of Y?
Right now, I manage these source citations outside of Legacy, in Evernote, but I would like to simplify my process and put it in Legacy.
How do you all do that in Legacy?
I add them as spouse and then search for the marriage. If your Gagnon relatives are from Quebec we may be related! My great grandmother was a Gagnon...
ReplyDeleteMy Gagnon ancestors are from the Kamouraska county, so in Quebec (but not Quebec city). Do you know where your grand-mother's family comes from? It would be nice to find out we're related :)
ReplyDeleteAs for my question, I usually already have the marriage info and documents. I like to note all the mentions that X is Y spouse because a lot of my ancestors married more than once, and that's often how I found out ;o)
Oh, not in front of computer but you can add extra spouses and their kids. If I remember correctly, you just double click on the spouse link and another place for spouse pops up. Then you can set the primary spouse and you have the secondary. I will have to look and get back to you on where from. Out running errands.
ReplyDeleteThat's not with adding the second spouse I have a problem with, is keeping trace of all the references with the spouse relationship. I guess I would like to have a source citation button for the spouse just like we have in the Parents List screen... Ideally in the Spouses list screen. In fact, this would also be nice for siblings...
ReplyDeleteI would put it as a marriage fact if I'm understanding you correctly. Don't remember if that one is in the list or if I added it.
ReplyDeleteGood question, Marie Claude! I like to track the source information about relationships, too. Sometimes all I have is a handwritten letter from a distant cousin saying that X married Y, and I definitely will need a reminder of how I learned that.
