In the Help File for PAF it suggests you can use the words NOT MARRIED in the Date Field for a marriage. I've used this approach for people in my database, but in the notes for the 'marriage' I usually list the sources I searched for a marriage (in case they got married in XYZ and I didn't happen to look there). This works for a couple which had children but were not married. In some marriage records, I have found a marriage date, with a list of children born to that couple also listed (before the marriage). I just enter it as given in the source record; that's pretty self-explanatory. Regina Barry * rmbarry1066@earthlink.net * http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rbarry4145/index.htm
