Pat that's one one the spots where I use the est or abt date for a fact. If I can find dates of birth for children, I'll subtract a year and use that as an est marriage date. Just my way to record my folks. Good hunting, Love, Lou Louis E. Love.

THAT does not appear at least on the screens for the family . IS there a 'replacement' fact type that would print / show in this case???

Not sure exactly what a 'marriage contract' means but I know that Marriage Banns doesn't guarantee a marriage - so there shouldn't necessarily be a replacement fact, ie one doesn't automatically follow the other - unlike Baptism to Birth and Burial to Death.
