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?

Getting all children to show up in family reports - help.

Help How do I get the children from all spouses to show when i print a family report.I have searched help and I just can't seem to find the way.

I have a question about creating a Descendant report.

I was able to create the report as both a .PDF and a .RTF file. I noticed that the PDF created created the Table of Contents and generated an index. However, on the RTF file Index page says: [ Note: Using your word processor, generate an Index here. ] [ All names have been marked as index entries in this document. ] [ Erase these three lines. ] The TOC page has a similar message. Do the messages mean I have to create my own in the RTF file? Thanks.

Voting is open for Genealogy Rockstars.

Voting is open for Genealogy Rockstars - John Reid of Anglo-Celtic Connections runs this poll each year. This year he has made a few changes - now you can only vote once (wow that makes sense!) and hopefully the votes will be from genealogists and family historians. It helps if genealogists look over the list and vote for those who they think educate, entertain and inform us throughout the year. Whether that is in webinars, seminars, conferences or perhaps with blog posts or websites. See the list and click on Vote Here link at the site. Voting is only open for one week - so check it out soon. Cheers http://anglo-celtic-connections.blogspot.ca/2016/09/rockstar-genealogists-2016-voting-now.html

Tuesday's Tip - Apologies, sometimes life gets in the way.

Tuesday's Tip - Apologies - after I plugged my upcoming webinar presentation on SCGS, I had to cancel. The good news is that it will be rescheduled. The bad news is the reason. As sometimes happens a member of our family takes ill. When that happens real life means family comes first. One of my siblings got a diagnosis that means we have some chemo appointments on the horizon, together with additional treatment. So my brother and I will spend some quality time at the local Veterans Administration Hospital (they have been wonderful throughout the wonder what's wrong, testing and explanation of how to attack this phases). Silver lining - spending more time with brother and asking lots of questions to update his branch of the tree. Thanks for understanding, and now that we have the schedule for treatments set, I will be back on track. My tip for today is take care of yourself and get your checkups so you can be doing genealogy and entering data in your Legacy software ...
