I used to enter the 2nd marriage as a new marriage, like 1st mar. - 2nd mar.
etc. A few problems occurred when the child was born after his father's
death, and his mother remarried meanwhile. It did, believe me.

If we are talking about half siblings in the family view?
Mine don't show up as 1/2 - each family view has one wife and one husband
showing, and only their children show up in that view.
If I click on the other marriage, then the children from that marriage
show
up.
I don't recall ever seeing it any other way. I'm using deluxe 6.0 version

Pat,
For what it's worth I have never been able to stop Legacy showing a second
or third family's children as 1/2 children to the first marriage, and I
hate
to think how many times I've tried. I no longer bother about it.
If it's any consolation this does not show in reports and web pages.

Hi Pat, Did you unlink the boys completely from all parents. So that they
appear with no parents at all.

Hmmm. I just did that but the two boys are still connected to
father and 1st wife (incorrect) as well as father and 2nd wife
(correct). They show as 1/2s under father and 1st wife. When I
right click on them under the father and 1st wife, neither show
up on the Children's setting, just the daughter which should be
there.
I checked both boys to see if they each have duplicates. That
problem is corrected. It is the same two individuals showing up
as children for the father and 1st wife and the father and 2nd
wife. They are children of the father and 2nd wife only (the 1st
wife was dead). I don't think the program is supposed to be
showing these two boys as 1/2s of the dead wife. But I can't
make it stop doing that.

Hi Pat,
Not sure if this will help. But I would unlink the child from the
parents
(may need to be unlinked more than once) and then when you have
correct
father and mother on the screen add the child back in.
Hope this helps.

Let's see if I can explain this better. 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.

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.

In my database is a male that was married three times. He has
children by both his first and second wives. Somehow I have

cleaned up. I can't merge the children because while their
names
are duplicated and their father is the same for both
duplications, their mother is different. I can't delete on of
the duplicate names as the delete removes the one chosen to
delete from both parents, not just one. I'm stumped!
