Wendy, thank you for your reply. In my case there are no half marriages or broken ;line in the descent from ym g grandmother to me and in the case of my cousin, I am fairly positive there are none in her line but I will cjeck again. I have run Check and Repair with no improvement so my next step is to check with my cousin that there are no half marriages in her line, that there is a direct line from her gg grandmother to her. Thank you for your suggestion.
