I'm sorry, I was unclear...these are people who were unlinked months, years ago. I wasn't unlinking today I was doing as you suggested & went to trees to tag the unlinked files. Then I wanted them to show on the Names List. In doing that I found the unlinked great grandparents that should be linked...and are shown in my file properly. Except for gr grandmother who has no relationship showing. Sally
