it's me again!- i'm quite a new researcher you see! I acquired a report from another family member researching and they used the term DEFACTO RELATIONSHIP to note if a couple were living together and not married. is this the correct term in geneology or is there a different one? Julie T:) |

Hi there I looked up the term "defacto" on this web site : www(dot)m(hyphen)w(dot)com it is merriam webster dictionary etc. Hubby passed this on and it appears a good site, there is a thesaurus too. Also atlas, reverse and rhyming dictionary and unabridged. Also gave 10 most popular sites forde facto and many other items. Defacto has 2 meanings: 1:ACTUAL; especially: being such in effect though not formally recognised <a de facto state of war> 2:exercising power as if legally consituted < a de facto government> hope this helps.

so it means 'a not formally recognised marriage'? i'll keep it for the moment, can i ask what phrase do you use? i thought of 'common-law' as that is recognised as living together! Cheers Julie T:) |

Just do a GOOGLE search on the phrase and you will get lots of matches - limit to the UK to make more relevant. Martin |
