Cathy, I solved the problem by unlinking the parents from the daughter and, after trial & error, added the parents in one by one. I tried adding parents but got the duplicates again (BTW... when I ran a search for the duplicates they did not exist). So, I went to the marriage list, found the duplicate couple & deleted them. The duplicate parents had the same ID numbers but two different marriage numbers.
How I tagged the "unlinked"? I went to the Tree view & tagged all the trees that were not on my personal tree with a tag number. I then went to each tree that was tagged & made sure it was intended to be unlinked. That's when I found my 6Xgreat grandparents unlinked & the whole problem started. Originally I thought they were simply unlinked but one pair did show up in my file. How & why it happened, I don't know...but glad to have it fixed. Have checked & double checked...they are properly in my file with the proper relationship. <G> Thanks, Sally On 5/20/2014 7:05 PM, Cathy Pinner wrote: > Sally, > Did you find the problem with the unlinked ancestor? > Were they really unlinked or did you just need to re-set relationships to > have the relationship show? > > I'm not sure how you tagged the "unlinked".
