Hi Bruce, Not sure what you mean by 'first icon for your wife'? In 'Family view', if I look at the 'parents icon' (which is what I think you mean) it shows '1'. When I hover above it shows the correct names. When I double click on the icon to open the box there are no names showing.

Look on the Family View at the first icon for your wife. How many are there? If more than 1 I think you have an extra marriage with two unknowns. If so, click on the parents icon and delete the unwanted marriage. Hope this helps.

When I click on the parents field to link back it asks me if I want to link to an existing person, I click yes, and it links back to her father. It does not automatically link to her mother, but when I try the same proceedure with linking to her mother, it creates another marriage, with only my wife as the daughter. Elsewhere in the database my wife's parents still exist as a married couple with all the correct children. There are no complications like a remarriage, with either of her parents. I have restored a backup file and the same thing happens. I have run file maintenance and everything seems fine. Is there another way of linking existing parents that I have forgotten or didn't know in the first place? I know many would not wish to persue this matter but how do I get my mother-in-law back (and father in law). ;-) Best wishes David ***************************************************** David S Brookes Musical Director, The Brewood Singers www.brewoodsingers.co.uk Organist & Choirmaster, Polesworth Abbey www.polesworthabbey.co.uk ***************************************************** Photos: http://picasaweb.google.com/musicaldirector54 Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
