Hi all - me again...

I've just come across a census Entry which reads:

Thomas Walker Head S 35
Jessie Redmayne Housekeeper Wid 47
Chris Walker Brother S 24
Mary Readmayne Cousin S 18


How do I create the cousin relationship when I don't have any idea about the parents or, as yet, how Jessie Redmayne (nee Clift) ties into Mary Redmayne?

Any thoughts anyone?


ID:1290

I would probably use the associated person field to attach the cousin to the family/head of household

I know I'm a pain... but I can't find an 'associated person' field - where should I be looking?

I didn't know about this either so thanks for that Jane.

In the Record Window right click on the Individual and select 'Add Miscellaneous' and you will see the option there.

What I've done in this situation is to create 'pseudo' entries to form the missing bits of the tree. So I might have something like:

[pre] (grandmother of Joe Bloggs)
               
(mother of Joe Bloggs) (aunt of Joe Bloggs)
                                 
Joe Bloggs                           Mary Smith
[/pre]

OK, so I can't do ASCII art very well [oops] Anyway, hopefully you get the idea. It then becomes very obvious that I have people left to find. Some may not like it, but it works for me [smile]

Thanks everyone - that's very neatly covered all the options I think..

I like it here... [smile]
