[LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
In my database is a male that was married three times. He has children by both his first and second wives. Somehow I have duplicated the names of the children and would like to get this cleaned up. I can't merge the children because while their names are duplicated and their father is the same for both duplications, their mother is different. I can't delete on of the duplicate names as the delete removes the one chosen to delete from both parents, not just one. I'm stumped! Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
Pat, Go to the individual view for one of the duplicated children. Look for the parent icon. Does it have more than a "1" in a box? Click on the parent icon. Does it show more than one set? Highlight the incorrect parent set, if it is there, and select "Unlink from Child". You probably don't have two records for the child, you probably just linked them twice. I hope this works for you.

Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
Let's see if I can explain this better. I think I have multiple problems. Joseph married three times by his 1st wife Elen, he had only one child, Ann by his second wife Sarah, he had two more, David and Thomas I entered Ann as the daughter of Joseph and his first wife correctly. Then, somehow I also entered the two boys as sons of Joseph and his first wife. I need to remove them and only have the two boys show up under Joseph and his 2nd wife. The two boys are also doubled under the first wife - once as if they are natural sons of Joseph and Ann, once as if they are natural to Joseph, step to Elen. When I switch to the 2nd wife, Sarah, Ann shows as a 1/2 (correct), but I have one set of sons, Thomas and David as natural to both Joseph and the 2nd wife (correct) and a repeat set as natural to Joseph and 1/2 to Elen (incorrect). I'm not at all certain how to clean up this mess. - Original Message - From: "Susan Daily" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 4:32 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem Pat, Go to the individual view for one of the duplicated children.

Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
Hi Pat, Not sure if this will help.

RE: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
Also, ... Check the RIN's of the kid's you believe to be duplicates. That's the number in square brackets in the top bar of the Individual's Information window. If the two John's believed to be the one son duplicated have the same RIN, you only have the one John but he is linked twice and therefore looks like a duplicate but isn't. C.G.

Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
Hmmm. I just did that but the two boys are still connected to father and 1st wife (incorrect) as well as father and 2nd wife (correct). They show as 1/2s under father and 1st wife. When I right click on them under the father and 1st wife, neither show up on the Children's setting, just the daughter which should be there. I checked both boys to see if they each have duplicates. That problem is corrected. It is the same two individuals showing up as children for the father and 1st wife and the father and 2nd wife. They are children of the father and 2nd wife only (the 1st wife was dead). I don't think the program is supposed to be showing these two boys as 1/2s of the dead wife.

RE: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
Let's see if I can help I think if you open up the family that is technically incorrect ie correct father, incorrect mother and two sons. I believe the simplest way is to initially 'unlink' the incorrect mother/wife from the husband. i.e rightclick wife and click 'unlink' from husband - this is only temporary - the sons will stay with the husband, and hopefully still with their original mother. Then you will have the father only showing one named wife, but also showing the father with an 'unknown' person as mother of the first daughter. If you click on that 'unknown' wife/mother you should then be offered to 'add a new person or 'link to existing person' and the little box 'add this person to the currently displayed marriage needs to be checked. You should select "Link to an existing person" and then you can reattach wife #1 only to the husband and daughter #1. Hope that isnt' too complicated.

Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
That didn't work. I even tried unlinking the boys from the unlinked wife, then adding the wife back in, then the boys under the correct wife but they showed up again under the incorrect wife as well. Is there anyone from support online? - Original Message - From: "Mel Morris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 6:13 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem Let's see if I can help I think if you open up the family that is technically incorrect ie correct father, incorrect mother and two sons. I believe the simplest way is to initially 'unlink' the incorrect mother/wife from the husband. i.e rightclick wife and click 'unlink' from husband - this is only temporary - the sons will stay with the husband, and hopefully still with their original mother. Then you will have the father only showing one named wife, but also showing the father with an 'unknown' person as mother of the first daughter. If you click on that 'unknown' wife/mother you should then be offered to 'add a new person or 'link to existing person' and the little box 'add this person to the currently displayed marriage needs to be checked. You should select "Link to an existing person" and then you can reattach wife #1 only to the husband and daughter #1. Hope that isnt' too complicated.

Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
Hi Pat, When showing 1/2 kids in Legacy Family View, this can be confusing as we expect that it will show real relationships only. However, it shows any children who are the child of one of the parents in the parent position. If the boys are showing as 1/2's under the father and 1st wife, that's just the way the display is in Legacy Family View when you've chosen to show 1/2 kids. If they are showing as full children, then you have them linked twice and you need to follow the instructions you've been given to unlink them. When you run reports, they'll appear correctly, so they won't be in the child list for father and 1st wife. Hope that clarifies, Cathy At 07:10 AM 13/04/2007, you wrote: Hmmm. I just did that but the two boys are still connected to father and 1st wife (incorrect) as well as father and 2nd wife (correct). They show as 1/2s under father and 1st wife.

Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
Hi Pat, Family View IS NOT a Family Group Sheet OR a living together in a household sheet. It gives clues to both those things. You just need to learn what Legacy means by 1/2 on the Family View in order to interpret the wealth of information that we have access to on the Family View. It's your choice how much information is available to you - for example, whether you show 1/2 kids or not. If you can't train yourself to recognise what is meant by the 1/2, then by all means leave it turned off. But if you start linking daughter's in again because they are no longer showing because she is the daughter of a previous marriage, you'll mess up reports. The only time you'd do that was if she was formally adopted by the second wife and then you'd note that in the Child-Parent Relationships. Cheers, Cathy At 08:01 AM 13/04/2007, you wrote: Anne, that did it! The 1/2s disappeared.

Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
That is exactly the situation and one should bear in mind that if "Show 1/2 Kids" is turned off no 1/2 kids will be displayed anywhere on the various screens. Or to be completely accurate kids will only show up where the are the natural children of both parents (including unknowns).

Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem
Pat, This can be confusing. Let me offer my observations. First, keep in mind that the Family View DISPLAY does not necessarily show families the way REPORTS do. If you have 1/2 children DISPLAY turned on, then EVERY child who is the offspring of EITHER of the parents (but not both) will be DISPLAYED marked as 1/2. a child who is the offspring of both parents will be DISPLAYED as a "full" child (i.e., NOT marked as 1/2). Second, if you want Ann to show as a "full" (not 1/2) child on the Family Group Sheet (or other REPORTS) for BOTH the 1st marriage AND the 2nd marriage, you will need to LINK her twice (as if she was born to two different sets of parents) then you would probably want to turn 1/2 children DISPLAY off (so you don't seen Ann listed twice on the Family View DISPLAY, once as "full" and once as "1/2"). Regardless of how the children are DISPLAYED, Ann will not be duplicated on any REPORT, but will show as a "full" child to each set of parents. Hope this makes sense.

After carefully reviewing and following the instructions given for "Multiple Parents & Single Parents in Legacy" and getting the kids to show with the father and each wife as I wanted - Ann going through all three wives with her status changing as needed, etc., I looked at the Descendant Report to see what would print out.While it was acceptable the Descendant BOOK report was confusing so I went back and used only the kids with their correct biological parents. Now the report looks much better. For my needs, this was the better of the two choices. And yes, I did try turning on the 1/2 kids. In the case of this family, it became a mess that was more than difficult to follow. I'm sure while I understand what I was doing, those to whom I choose to send copies or who happen upon the tree loaded into World Connect wouldn't. Thanks again all, you're a great group. BTW, the reason most of these questions are coming up is that I'm cleaning up the nearly 16,000 name database that I moved over to Legacy from FTM just a few months ago. What a learning process this has been! - Original Message - From: "Bruce Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, April 13, 2007 1:11 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] need help in fixing this problem Pat, This can be confusing. Let me offer my observations. First, keep in mind that the Family View DISPLAY does not necessarily show families the way REPORTS do. If you have 1/2 children DISPLAY turned on, then EVERY child who is the offspring of EITHER of the parents (but not both) will be DISPLAYED marked as 1/2. a child who is the offspring of both parents will be DISPLAYED as a "full" child (i.e., NOT marked as 1/2). Second, if you want Ann to show as a "full" (not 1/2) child on the Family Group Sheet (or other REPORTS) for BOTH the 1st marriage AND the 2nd marriage, you will need to LINK her twice (as if she was born to two different sets of parents) then you would probably want to turn 1/2 children DISPLAY off (so you don't seen Ann listed twice on the Family View DISPLAY, once as "full" and once as "1/2"). Regardless of how the children are DISPLAYED, Ann will not be duplicated on any REPORT, but will show as a "full" child to each set of parents. Hope this makes sense.
