I have often been able to find these loops by generating an Ancestor Chart under Reports. Start with someone in your file that may be descended from a mis-linked individual. Click "Max 250" generations. Then click Preview. If there is a possible loop, you will get a "Warning" and the name of the individual which has been encountered more than 2 times will be displayed. If you are sure that individual should be on the ancestral pedigree more than 2 times, then increase the warning counter and click "Continue Processing". If the counter exceeds 30 or 40 and you are still getting warnings, then you have probably found the culprit. Follow this sequence until you locate the mis-linked individual in the pedigree and then break the links that are causing the loop. Repeat until you have fixed all the loops.Ron Taylor

This is what Ron is suggesting, but it is not clear that you checked this.
