Betty, Firstly I would try File>File Maintenance>Check Repair – might do it but might not.
Your problems could well be created by the electricity failure. I hope that you had a back up, and if so I suggest that you use File>Restore to run it, but when asked to save use a new file name. Check that to see if it is as it should be. You will then have to repeat the work since the last back-up. If not I would reinstall Legacy, and repeat.

I opened Legacy again and didn't notice any oddities. Most of today I’ve been comparing 20 pgs of names submitted to me. At one point it hung on marriages – after clicking on the marriage icon I got a blank marriage screen and couldn’t get out a conventional way, so I used task manager to stop the program, which it said was Not Responding. When I opened it again I had the same man and woman listed as second marriages for each – just same names listed twice, and another person as wife of my ‘main’ subject; I was able to unlink him. The 2 marriages weren’t in the index as 2 people. Deleted and reentered. 2. I’ve had ‘Legacy Not Responding’ – just a couple of times since I’ve had it. Do I do something to cause that? Like start typing or enter before it has digested the last move?? 3. With all of that as a preface, I just found 2nd marriage info in my comparison that I thought I had entered months ago and the ‘wife’ is only connected to her parents now and they have no ancestors, I would not have entered them 'loose' – is it possible to ‘look at’ or ‘Compare’ a backup, or open it under another name? I suppose if I Restore it will overwrite my current files and delete anything I did the past 2-3 days, which may not have been a lot I spent a lot of time on findagrave and ancestry; but I don't know what would be lost. I wasn’t sure I should backup after the electricity stopped in case entries were damaged. If I could just look at an older one maybe there were children, siblings, and more links connected with that marriage?? (If so, where do I even find physical backups {not under File}? I use the default with current date.) Betty FL No virus found in this message.
