[LegacyUG] Wrong children in report
I have just noticed a couple of strange things with my file or rather with a report from my data. I have created a Descendant Narrative report. One woman, named Eliza, is reported as having a husband called Tom. Trouble is, my data does not show any husband for Eliza. Nor is there a Tom in my name list. To my knowledge I have never entered Tom, linked them, and then unlinked them and/or deleted Tom. However, Tom is actually a potential husband of Eliza according to some research notes I have. That one will remain a mystery I guess, because there has to be some logical explanation. The second problem, same report, I have a woman named Rosetta who had a relationship with an unknown man. She had one child to him. She then married, and had several more children to her husband. However, the report says Rosetta and the unknown man had three children and lists the correct child, plus the first two children of her marriage. In the database they are correctly linked to the husband, and NOT linked to the unknown man. If I show half kids they are correctly listed as ½ siblings of the illegitimate daughter. Anyone got any clues as to why this might have happened.

Re: [LegacyUG] Wrong children in report
I don't know the answer to this dilemma, but when I have discovered weird things in the past where something was embedded, or more or less invisible - I would delete the entire records involved and put them back in again and see if the results are the same. Just a thought...but it would be nice to figure out why.

Re: [LegacyUG] Timelines available
Or even the USA County Verifier, which lists all counties in all states along with the date they were founded and disbanded (if that happened). it also shows the parent counties and name changes. Although you can't print the list out, you could do a screen shot and enter the data into the new timeline from that - as you go down the list and need to scroll, just scroll down and do another screen shot.

Re: [LegacyUG] Wrong children in report
Jan, I do not consider that deleting files at this stage is a good idea, a check/repair, as suggested by Brian, is certainly a better starting point. One thing is, however, very clear - you do have a Tom in your database, if you didn't then he would not appear have you searched your Research Notes, as it would seem that this is where it is recorded in your report, although you do not actually say where he is recorded in your reports. After doing a check/repair, you need to check, very carefully, all the links for both women and 'all' their partners, are there more partners than you thought, have you checked the marriage list to see how many partners there are? You many find some ghost marriages. Finally, think of unlinking before deleting anything - a piece of advice when you unlink someone do make a note of the name *and* the RIN, it is mush easier to find them later.

Re: [LegacyUG] UAC - Users Account Control
I've had it there for however long it's been since I got Win7 (right after it came out). I've never had any problems. Most problems arise from malware in emails and suspicious webpages and downloads. If you keep good quality security software updated and running, you shouldn't have any problems. That being said, I do downloads and open attachments all the time and I can't remember when I had a malware warning. Also, I'm using DSL and behind a secure modem/router - I've tested my security through a couple of websites (can't remember them right now) and my computer was not discoverable.

RE: [LegacyUG] Wrong children in report
Thanks Ron, and Brian. I should have thought of check/repair myself. The only thing I can think of that gave Eliza a marriage to Tom was that I had entered it at some stage, then, upon realising that the marriage occurred before Eliza was born I deleted it as obviously being wrong. I don't recall working on that line recently (i.e. since I created the report) but logic says I must have done. As for the errant children I ran check/repair and now all is well.
