Hi Howland, I'll try to explain a bit better but using one of my own blended families as an example
Under Tools > Set Direct Line as Preferred ...... when I set myself as the root person for that, then I have my Dad & my Mum correctly showing for my Dad's marriage. However, if I was to use a child of one of my half-siblings from my dad's first marriage, and set them as the root person for the Tools > Set Direct Line as Preferred... then when I look at my father's Family view, it shows his first wife, not his preferred wife, because it is showing the direct line of the designated person. Hope that makes sense. Kathy On 18 August 2013 00:00, Howlanddavisii <[email protected]> wrote: > Kathy: > > It may be doing that; I don't know.
