Success!!!! Thanks I systematically unlinked each child from the parents of MRIN #265 then found the now parentless children and added parents using MRIN #47. Then I unlinked the #265 marriage. It seems so obvious now but for some reason I couldn't get it together until now. Thanks for the input. Sandra

From: Sandra Hopgood Sent: Saturday, June 02, 2012 11:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] MRIN's: Two MRIN's one marriage. Brian I tried deleting MRIN #265 in the manner suggested, with no luck. The children of #265 ended up with no parents. If I then give them a father George #139 they have no mother and if I try to add Margaret #140 as mother it says she is already spouse to George #139. Which ever way I tackle it the full siblings (7 in all) appear as 1/2 siblings to each other and their parents (#139 & #140) appear as married to eachother twice with different MRINs (#47 & #265) even though they only married once. Anything I try results in losing some children or messages saying the parents already exist. The MRIN'S share identical marriage details. I want to merge the MRIN's as everything else is correct but I can't work out how to do this. I'm stumped and very frustrated. Any other suggestions??? Please!!!!

If not make sure that all the children are linked to MRIN 47. Open the Marriage List and select MRIN 265. Click on Options and select remove the marriage link. Ignore the warning about children of the marriage and Click Yes. The marriage link will no longer exist an only the correct marriage MRIN 47 will continue with the correct list of children.
