Smile Good Morning,

                       Is it possible to 'connect' family members to the tree so that in reports they are shown as 'probable' or 'possible' relatives. All help appreciated but please keep it as simple as possible. Many Thanks,

Melm: )

This is a complex issue, because the "Possible Child" may be from the father, the mother or both.  The case of a possible child from a father is obvious (and the most common), but there can be a case where a man had multiple wives and multiple children.  It is possible to know each husband' child without knowing the exact wife.  The third case is a couple who may have had children, but there is little data to support it.

How about not limiting the possible relation between parent and child, but extending it to other relations too? I.e. instead of having a "possible child" as a relation of its own, it would be more neat to have for all existing relations the option "unverified" or "not verified" only as an attribute of the relation, with some visual indication too (see also old topic Disconnected branches link on lacking information on the relation between two individuals).

Agree.  Perhaps a unified attribute system for the validity of information.  I need to do a similar thing for sources & citations to determine how "reliable" is the source.
