Hi, Richard I feel these grandchildren are part of the family and must be linked. Create two "ghost" children for the grandparents. Mark them as "unknown gender" and attach a grandchild to each. When you have more info. you can put name and gender to the ghosts, or merge with known children. It's worth remembering that (depending on society/country/timeframe), the grandson with a different surname may be a daughter's illegitimate child, using his father's name. For instance, this was commonly done in 19th century Scotland. -- Regards Mary Young www.cmy.org.uk
