Pretty much so. While I can appreciate how difficult it would be to program the software to accomodate all the variables needed to "fix" the problem, I, for one would sure like to see it done. ----- Original Message ----- From: Elizabeth Cunningham To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 7:49 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
My grandfather married twice, and so did his second wife. Children by grandfather's first wife show up as 1/2 under second wife, and children by second wife show up as 1/2 under first wife. I have been told this is the way it is. Is that like your situation? Elizabeth C Pat Jones wrote: 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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 5:48 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem 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.

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.

Somehow I have duplicated the names of the children and would like to get this 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! Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?
