Ron, I recently had a similar situation. I discovered I had listed two children to my uncle that in fact were his wife's from a prior marriage/relationship. I unlinked the children and then, starting with the child I added just the mother by "linking to and existing person". This appears to have accomplished the same thing. But, now when I look at the three different relationships, when looking at the two unknown spouces only one of these two children show up with the other children. I have "show half brothers or sisters" checked so as long as I have the mother on the family page all of her children should show.........right? By not creating the unknown spouces first did I mess things up?

First unlink Carrie from her current parents, then create another marriage for Susanna - click on the spouse Icon for Susanna and add a new husband called "unknown". Then link Carrie to this marriage. Return to the Spouse screen and ensure that the marriage to "Unknown" is first in the list. Ron Ferguson ----- Original Message ----- From: Jane Sarles To: [email protected] Sent: 27 January 2010 01:26 Subject: [LegacyUG] Incorrect link My ancestor married, as his third wife, Susanna Nelson, who, when they were married, had a daughter, Carrie. I do not know if she was illegitimate or had a father named Nelson. Somehow I got my ancestor iinput as Carrie's father, which is quite incorrect.When I try to unlink Carrie from my ancestor, it only allows one to unlink from "parents". Of course, I only wish to unlink from the father. I am not sure how to fix this. Nor can I decide how to handle the correct father of Carrie. Help? Jane S.
