Problem 7:An individual is married to the same spouse more than once (same spouse RIN; different MRINs). Solution: Open the Spouse List by clicking on View, then select Spouse List and choose either the husband or wife on the submenu. Next, in the Spouse List highlight the duplicate marriage, and click Unlink on the right side of the window. The Unlink window is displayed. This window shows the name of the current individual from whom the spouse will be unlinked along with a list of any children that are currently linked to these two people. Where one linking has no children and the other has the children. unlink the one that doesn't have the children attached. In this situation you can safely continue with the unlinking, and the children will remain linked to both of their parents. Only the superfluous marriage will disappear.
