That didn't work. I even tried unlinking the boys from the unlinked wife, then adding the wife back in, then the boys under the correct wife but they showed up again under the incorrect wife as well.
Is there anyone from support online? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mel Morris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 6:13 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem Let's see if I can help I think if you open up the family that is technically incorrect ie correct father, incorrect mother and two sons. I believe the simplest way is to initially 'unlink' the incorrect mother/wife from the husband. i.e rightclick wife and click 'unlink' from husband - this is only temporary - the sons will stay with the husband, and hopefully still with their original mother. Then you will have the father only showing one named wife, but also showing the father with an 'unknown' person as mother of the first daughter. If you click on that 'unknown' wife/mother you should then be offered to 'add a new person or 'link to existing person' and the little box 'add this person to the currently displayed marriage needs to be checked. You should select "Link to an existing person" and then you can reattach wife #1 only to the husband and daughter #1. Hope that isnt' too complicated.

I think I have multiple problems. Joseph married three times by his 1st wife Elen, he had only one child, Ann by his second wife Sarah, he had two more, David and Thomas I entered Ann as the daughter of Joseph and his first wife correctly. Then, somehow I also entered the two boys as sons of Joseph and his first wife. I need to remove them and only have the two boys show up under Joseph and his 2nd wife. The two boys are also doubled under the first wife - once as if they are natural sons of Joseph and Ann, once as if they are natural to Joseph, step to Elen. When I switch to the 2nd wife, Sarah, Ann shows as a 1/2 (correct), but I have one set of sons, Thomas and David as natural to both Joseph and the 2nd wife (correct) and a repeat set as natural to Joseph and 1/2 to Elen (incorrect). I'm not at all certain how to clean up this mess. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susan Daily" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 4:32 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem Pat, Go to the individual view for one of the duplicated children. Look for the parent icon. Does it have more than a "1" in a box? Click on the parent icon. Does it show more than one set? Highlight the incorrect parent set, if it is there, and select "Unlink from Child". You probably don't have two records for the child, you probably just linked them twice. I hope this works for you.
