[LegacyUG] changing parents without deletion
I'd like to follow up on this, please. I have a family with a daughter, Lavinia, for whom I have census events as a child with her parents, a marriage and census events with her husband and family. So far so good. However, I have discovered another family of the same surname, with a daughter Lavinia born in the same general area and of the same age. I have census entries for her with her parents. It is possible that I have married the wrong Lavinia. I've sent off for the marriage certificate (fortunately the fathers' names are different) and I may have to swap the daughters. I know I can do that by unlinking both and relinking them to the right parents but that will leave the wrong childhood census entries with each Lavinia. Is it possible to start a "Manual Merge", use the arrows to move the census events to the correct Lavinia, but not perform the actual merge? Or is there a better way? Advice would be appreciated Tony Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

In Family View, right-click on the child and select Unlink from parents... Having unlinked the child from the wrong parents, go to the right set of parents, left-click in the Child are and select Link to an Existing Son... or Link to an Existing Daughter... Select the appropriate child from the Name List which appears. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

[LegacyUG] changing parents without deletion
Hi. Question is I have children in a certain family but the father or mother is wrong due to being remarried or partnered. So i wish to change the parent but so far I'm finding it difficult to work it out unless I delete them and that's just a painfull option. Can anyone help? thanks in advance.
