Brian. You guys are so helpful, and I really appreciate it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Linking comes in as wrong relationship

You probably also have to re do the set direct line as preferred since 
the changes you made have affected your direct line ancestors. Legacy 
needs to recalculate who should be bold.

Tools > Set direct line.

Thank you, Cathy. That did work--that is, it now says the right thing! So, 
that's good. But I do notice that that name is not bolded (the individuals in 
my line are bolded, and the grandfathers before him and after him are bolded).

but in the list of "children" that he is part of, his name is not bolded.

Barbara,

Just go to Tools - Set Relationships and reset them. You may want to 
clear them first and then reset.
