    1. Single Parent Family and Unknown Spouse

    3. The recent discussion regarding non-existent spouses inspired me to make an experiment, and it worked. I have one individual with two out of wedlock children and of course PAF automatically entered an unknown spouse. Where the date of marriage has to be entered I typed "Unmarried", and instead of typing the name of a spouse I put "No Spouse". This now shows up quite clearly. Of course, the programme threw a little 'wobbly', but the details now clearly show that this woman was a single mother. She did marry about ten years later and I have recorded this in the "other marriage" option. Jennifer MacPherson N.Z. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
