JR, Thanks for this. I did try that method but; perhaps because I did not have birth dates, it didn’t work for me. I’ll try that with fake birthdates.
Appreciate the help, Sam (Mazatlán, MX) From: JR Sent: Thursday, April 4, 2019 9:46 PM To: Azores Genealogy Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Off Subject question about Family Treekmaker software Select and right click any individual and then select delete for FTM Ver 14. There is another way to remove unknown spouse. Since I don't use most recent version of FTM even though I have it, so this may not apply to your case. However, try this: In the Unknown spouse field, create the same identical name of the existing spouse. Be sure to give the existing and the new spouse the same birth dates. So let's say, Manuel da Costa is married to Maria Furtado and to unknown spouse. Rename unknown spouse to Maria Furtado. So now you have Manuel da Costa married to two Maria Furtados. Once the two Maria Furtado's are given same birthdays of 1750, FTM will ask if these are same people. Say yes and it will merge them and your unknown spouse and/or second spouse will disappear. You can also do this manually, by merging two people with exact birth dates. I find applying two like names and like birthdates the easiest way. After they are merged, you can always correct the names or birth dates if necessary. JR On Thursday, April 4, 2019 at 10:48:46 PM UTC-4, Sam (Camas, WA) wrote: That’s a sneaky work around Leonor.

If so, it had added an unknown spouse to some of my living relatives. I deleted the fact on Ancestry and it eventually deleted from FTM. I couldn’t figure out how to delete it from FTM.

I have inadvertently hit the “add a spouse” button when there was no spouse to add. I know how to delete a person who has a name but; it won’t let me delete the blank spouse so, I have 3 spouses showing instead of 2 and that is messing things up.
