Barton,
For the person showing 2 marriages the one to unlink would be the one that has
no children attached to the marriage. The quickest way to go through the
marriages of the individual is if it is male click on the bar that appears to
the left of the husband when the mouse hovers over it or the right of the
female. When you get to the one that has no children then right click on the
Marriage box and choose the menu item to unlink husband or wife from the
marriage if that results in a 2nd marriage with an Unknown spouse then choose
the menu item “remove marriage link”.

So if a person is showing as having 2 marriages, both to the same person, you
unlink one of them? Which one, does it matter? Will it result in the children
being unlinked from the parent, even though it's the correct parent (but a
duplicate one)? I don't understand how there can be a link to 2 people who are
the same person, but there is only one person of that name in the database. I
tried to find an explanation for this in Help, but could not.
Thank you.

You have to unlink the one set. I had this happen awhile back and it
affected a few hundred marriages. The group here helped me figure out the best
way to go about getting rid of the duplicates and making sure they were all
gone. Very annoying bug but relatively simple to fix.

I merged a relative with his duplicate. Now his parents are showing 2
marriages – each to the same spouse, twice. My relative has a section symbol
after his name but his siblings don’t. The parents aren’t showing up as
duplicates in the index even though they are listed twice in the Spouse List.
What’s going on here? How can I get rid of the extra spouse?
Thanks,
Barton
