RIN 3 and RIN 55 are two different people. Actually grand mother and grand daughter Marie Marie Varrelman Melchiori, CG, CGL Melchiori Research Services, L.L.C. Marie, I just made that point myself - before I saw that you had! Yes, I did receive two copies :-) As you say, the puzzle here is that RIN 3 was born in 1890, and yet appears first in the kid's in Family view, but because there is no dob. Are they supposed to be sorted by date of birth, and do you have "show 1/2 kids set" - right click on any kid in Family View>View>Show 1/2 kids? Although it is difficult to read the dates and numbers, at least on my machine, this could indicate the presence of duplicates, or two marriages. I have had similar problems myself but only after merging, usually manually, in your case that would be either RIN 3 or one of her parents - the family wasn't by any chance put in from a GEDCOM was it? Looking at RIN 3, I would try Search>Find>Detailed Search for an Individual with a RIN equal to 3 and see what is returned, I would also try the same search to look for an Individual Given Name: Elizabeth AND surname: Sporer and see that return also. It may be that you will be able to spot a duplicate. If no luck there, you could consider just deleting RIN 3 (having noted all the data, of course) and then adding a Elizabeth Sporer (NOT using RIN3 - you can always change it later - you may need to remove the check mark from Options>Customise>Data Defaults so that RINS are not reused). Those are my current thoughts, but I may think of something else yet!
