In the title bars I have Sampson Trevethan [2482] and next to him his wife Ann Church [2485]. When I click on the Spouse Icon and go to "Spouses of Sampson Trevathan [2482] Ann Church [2485] is listed as his wife twice with the same number [2485]. If I click on the Spouse Icon for Ann Church it lists Sampson Trevethan [2482] as a spouse twice with the same number. In "Spouses of Sampson Trevathan [2482]" if I click on the first listing of Ann Church as spouse of Sampson all the information is identical to that when I click on Ann Church as the second wife of Sampson, except on one they have one daughter and the other two daughters. I added some information for Sampson to my database and the data shows up on both of the spouse listings for Ann Church's spouse 1 Sampson and spouse 2 Sampson. However, when I go to my "Index" Sampson Trevethan and Ann Church are only shown once. I ran a duplicates search but their names did not appear. I will do a File Maintenance and see if that helps. I turned on the option to show married name in my Index but it did not work. Maybe I need to exit and reboot before it takes effect. Any other suggestion appreciated.

Have you done File Maintenance to see if that solves the problem? (File > File Maintenance > Check/Repair) 2. Are you looking at the index with the "Include Married Names" option on? (Index > Options > Include Married Names) I'm a little stuck because I don't know where you'd see spouses other than the View Spouses list, which doesn't include RINs. Could you clarify what screen you are in (what is the name in the title bar?)
