The last email got away from me without my permission so here I am again. Firstly thanks for the " big breath ".
Yes I agree with you that the information is probably still there, just not where I want it to be. Firstly I need to get 15 and 883's children back where they should be. I now have 15 & 883 with no children and also 15 & 883 with 3 children nos 1365, 292 & 1364 Regards from Valerie in sunny Sydney.

It appears as though they somehow got duplicated during a recent import. The solution is to do a merge and merge them all together....then your linkages should be correct. You can verify this by looking on family view and seeing how many spouses each one has...if more than what they should have then you know you have"ghost" marriages that a merge should take care of....HOWEVER...you need to be very careful when doing merges that you don't accidentally merge people that should not be merged(if you have a lot of unknowns in your file you'll need to very carefully examine surrounding families to determine if they are actually duplicates.) Legacy has an automerge feature that works really nicely...but always make a backup of your file before you try merging these folks. The good news is that if you just unlinked them they are probably still in your file. Try running Tree finder( on the top menu, click on view and then look for Tree Finder.....Click on that and see how many "trees" show up...I'm betting that you may have a bunch of them....The kicker is that Tree Finder does not automatically refresh itself....You'll need to click on Refresh after you do your merges. Keep us posted on how things go....Email me off list if you need intensive assistance...First advice is to take deep breaths...
