* Illegitimate Births

[Johnr65]

Is there a way of indicating that a person was born 'out of wedlock' on AS? Some of my ancestors had illegitimate children, sometimes the father was named, sometimes not.

I'm not aware of any "flag" or similar. I use the AS Autotext option to record information in the FH Text From Source field, so once I have input all data in AS I add something to that text before saving the record. Later (if I remember!), I usually add a comment to the Birth or Baptism fact within FH.

Once the data is in FH you can also set the Rel flag on the child in the family to show the status.

see How to Flag a Child as Adopted, Illegitimate, etc

Thank you Jane.
