Cathy He wasn't linked twice. I've fixed it now, but when it happened, I'd been working on this family for several hours, looking up censuses, etc. He would show up properly as a child and as a parent, then for some unknown reason, when I clicked on his name when he was in the Child View, he, his wife and kids would appear properly in the Main View, but his parents were no longer showing, and when I clicked on the parent icon, Legacy was showing me he had no parents, but when I brought up his parents as the main people, he was still clearly there in the child list. I had to add his parents back in as his parents and then make his parents have only the one marriage again. This worked for several days, then a few days later, I clicked on his name again and the same thing happened - no parents! I can't explain it - I've never had it happen before, but to have happen to the same person within a few days was odd.
