I was out of town for awhile and upon my return got back to this
problem. I have no idea what I did wrong but, although I did get my
missing GGF inserted ok, I have now apparently deleted my GGGF and all
previous generations. When I do a search they are all still there
(somewhere) but I can't figure out how to link them back to where they
should be. Maybe it's just me, but Legacy seems to be very unforgiving
when one makes a simple mistake. Any assistance would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks much!

Hi Bill,
As others have said, it's a matter of unlinking and relinking until
you have the right people connected to each other in the right way.
You access the unlink by right clicking on a person in Family View.
It's a good idea to make a backup first incase you get it wrong at
your first attempt. This is especially important if you are unlinking
husbands and wives as it is easy to leave the children and the
marriage details with the wrong person.
When you go to Add a parent or a child to a person (Also available
from the right click menu), you have the option to link to an existing
person or add a new person to the database.
If you are linking a child to parents - make sure you choose Add
parents and not Add father or Add mother or you'll find you've added
another marriage to the father or the mother.
You may have already worked this out,
Cathy

I submitted this request for help on 9/13 but have had no response so
I'll try again. If this is the wrong forum for this type question,
please advise.
In my mother's family the parents of my maternal grandfather were
inadvertently omitted.. Thus, the grandparents of my grandfather
_/are shown as his parents/_. How may I insert the missing parents &
family of my grandfather_ without _affecting all the earlier
families/generations going back to the 1700's? Being a relatively new
user of Legacy I cannot seem to figure it out and would greatly
appreciate the answer.
Sincerely, Bill Rhodes
