I have had similar problems in the past.While looking at the first marriage; write on a piece of paper, put John and Welthy's RINs and MRINS. Do the same thing for the second Marriage. If you have exactly 2 RINs (one for each) then see which children are in marriage 1 and which are in marriage 2. You have two marriages for one couple with the children split. You may need to 'change the View'. Right click on any one of the children. A drop down menu starting with Edit; Add brother; etc. Go down to View. A drop down should show with five choices. uncheck the 'show 1/2 kids'. Now children are seen under the marriage the computer things they belong to. Decide which marriage will be the only correct one, then write down the RINs to be moved to the other ( I forget too easily), next remove each from the 'wrong one' one at a time, then add them to the 'correct' one. If you have more than 1 for either, then the first step is to merge the two copies of the same person into one (using backups before starting). When first learning Merging I would do it two or three times (restoring to return to the start) until I was positive that I had FIXED the error. You may need to do two operations. Do the Merges first, then if some kids are missing or too many marriages, do the first. I didn't recognize your problem originally as being the above situation. Good luck. I think this should do it.

Second post: I did the following unlinked John from his wife Wealthy - kids stayed with Wealthy ran chart- has only one marriage to each other. Should not shown as married. unlinked Weathly from "unknown" husband- kids stayed with unknown ran chart - no marriage shown Linked Wealthy to John ran chart- SHOWS TWO WIVES!!! Linked children back to couple so I would not forget to do later. Please - I really need to get this corrected, as I need to print the chart for the national park service. John and Wealthy are married to each other only once - only spouse either had. What else can I do to fix?
