John,

In the Family View (husband on left, wife on right), click the first icon under 
the husband (spouses icon).  Unlink one of the spouses.  I would check the wife 
too to make sure she doesn’t have an extra husband.  If you are lucky, 
unlinking the extra spouse will fix the children.  If not, it is just a matter 
of linking them in the right place.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Merge problem in Legacy 7.5



I had 2 unlinked families in the same file. Recently I finally found proof they 
were related so proceeded to the merge a husband and wife in family A, with the 
equivalent couple in family B.  I had not used the merge tool before and found 
it a bit confusing. After several attempts, all of the relationships appeared 
correct in the family views, so I saved the merge.

I have since found that the chronology view and Legacy charting shows the 
husband married twice to the same wife (everything identical including RINs). 
Also, Legacy charts displays 2 identical sets of their children.

Is there an easy way to fix this? If not, would deleting the wife, re adding 
her and then relinking all her relationships work, or only confuse things more? 
I am in a “hole” and do not want to dig it any deeper.

Regards,

John
