You can scroll them (in the program) using the arrows if the dates are vague or missing (just like changing childrens order). Once placed they should not move. The reason Alfred's mom's marriage comes first might be because it was input first (guess). Are you saying that after you did the above, it still comes out 'wrong'? Rich in LA CA

Is it because Alfred is the main family member and his mother was his father's third wife that this comes up first? I just don't like how it says and next he married and then shows the first wife.
