Ila, Go to the Marriage List.
Highlight each marriage that is shown as unknown-unknown one at a time and then go to Options > Remove the Marriage link. If there is only one child attached to that marriage go ahead and remove the link. If there are two or more children attached to that marriage link then don’t remove the link, instead, go to Edit Husband and add the surname of the children. It is very likely you got all of the these unknown-unknowns from a gedcom import.

When I got to investigating further I found that each marriage had either a source attached, a marriage note, or a date. I went through a number of these marriages and deleted all the data and then had Legacy renumber the MRINs. Several were reused, but most were not. I then went through the same ones and made sure I removed the marriage link. These marriages disappeared from the screen, but when I had Legacy renumber the MRINs these were not reused and showed up again. I am assuming these marriages were created when I imported my GEDCOM file from FTM for the Mac after I got my Windows computer and started using Legacy again. It looks like each marriage was created as it should have been with all the data and then the marriage data was also placed in blank marriages thus creating these “ghost” marriages. I have tried compacting the family file, and check and repair but nothing has helped. These “darling” marriages still show up. I feel like there must be something I am missing and need help finding it. Ila East _____ No virus found in this message.
