I am new to Reunion 10. Is there a way to source the marital status of "never married" people? I have several people whom I know that were never married. I have listed their status as "never married" but can't find a way to source it. I would think there should be a way to do this, since the rest of the marriage statuses (married, common law, civil union and domestic partner) can be sourced.

I can't see how you could source a "never married". It is not possible to prove a negativeOriginally posted by brcox1 View Post

Re: Source for "unmarried"
It is certainly possible to prove a negative, although it may be more tenuous for a historically distant fact.
I would use free-form and enter your 'proof' such as "John was never married; this was well known within the family."
While you don't have a 'never married' document, in my opinion, personal knowledge or circumstantial evidence would suffice.Comment

Re: Source for "unmarried"
The question isn't "proof", it's sourcing. If you have a source that says "never married" (and obituaries often say this), you would cite that obituary as the source of that assertion.Originally posted by saoi View PostDennis J. Cunniff

Re: Source for "unmarried"
Setting the Never Married doesn't actually affect whether or not you can add a source to the Marriage tab of the Edit Family window (as far as I can tell, anyways). If the marriage status is set to Unmarried and there is no spouse for the person in the file, then the Add Source button is disabled - that's the problem you seem to be running into.
This would be something for the wish list
