Elizabeth, I wonder if this is an obscure bug, and the married names are retaining the RIN prior to your change. I have no idea if this is possible, and if you have Access or Open Office, you may be able to have a look for yourself - table tblIR contains Individual records. It maybe that Legacy may wish to check your .fdb file, if they are willing to try and sort it.
If I am correct then you are unlikely to find anybody who is willing to risk ruining their files to check it!

I can't delete anyone as the phantoms are not there in person - just their names wrong with the details etc. of the correct person with that RIN. They appear on the Index and the Name List but only if the 'show married names' is on. They all exist in their own right as well, if you see what I mean and I don't want to delete them completely.
