Barbara B Reitt asked: How best to enter two competing ancestries for one person? Well, Barbara, "Best" is a matter of personal choice. <grin> Others have made several good suggestions. "My" method is to enter a "duplicate" person. One person is linked to one set of parents and has only the tags and citations which indicate one set of ancestors. The other person is linked to the other parents and has the tags and citations indicating those other ancestors. Then I have a custom tag which I have named "Duplicate" with P1 as one "person" and P2 the "duplicate". Similar to what others have suggested, this tag type is output as a "research" type of tag, and in Second Site it is output in a separate "Research" tag group. As others have mentioned, defining separate custom tag types for separate purposes allows considerably more control over both their output, and for searching. Since in your case there is no clear indication of which is correct, this method of separating the two possibilities seems the most appropriate. I prefer it precisely because I can separately link a given piece of evidence to the appropriate opposing theory/person. In some cases I even choose to not connect either as a Primary parent of the children, but instead connect both as "Candidate" parents for these children. While normally I do not have Witnesses to a "Duplicate" tag, this one tag could be locally modified to add the children as witnesses with appropriate Witness sentences and memos. Individual Witness memos to this tag could be useful if there is some evidence that a particular child is more likely to descend from one or the other set of ancestors. More details of "My Way" to deal with this common situation are in my on-line book. My custom "Duplicate" tag type is described here: http://www.mjh-nm.net/TAGCUSTM.HTML#DuplicateTag with its roles and sentence templates here: http://www.mjh-nm.net/SENTENCE.HTML#DuplicateSentences Hope this gives you ideas, Michael
