A couple of things. Since you have been unlinking people, you might want to check to see how many “trees” you have in your file. This will show you how many unlinked people you have or groups of people (they are linked together but not to your main tree). Go to View > Trees. Click the Refresh button over on the right. Now your list will be correct.
Don’t worry about the error message you got in the check/repair. The check/repair fixed the problem. However, whenever you do get an error message you want to run the check/repair again to make sure you are now error free. If you go to View > Master Lists > Event Definition, you will see '!Fix this Event Type-1' on the list. Highlight it and click Show List over on the right. If no one is attached to it (and this will probably be the case) just delete that event. If there is someone attached to it, open that person up and see if you can figure out what the event really should be and then change it. Before you start on a big project, such as unlinking a bunch of people, make sure you back up you file. That way if things don’t turn out like you want you can always go back to where you were.

I have spent most of the day working on a problem in Legacy 8.0.0.427. It started with the discussion here about unlinking disproved people/lines. Which made me think that I would really like to have the program put some kind of color/letter/designation of some kind next to people that you unlink since they show up in the Name List & when you are looking to see if someone you just found is already in your file it would let you know which ones are in or out. Made the suggestion. Was told how to do it with tagging. Did the tagging, using tag#4 only to discover that only the first 3 tags show on the Name List...I knew that... So...cleared out tag#2, tagged the unlinked people with #2, listed them again & went to each one to click on tag#4 to remove it. EXCEPT...I came to my 6th Great Grandparents...they are unlinked. My 5th G-Grandmother is shown as their daughter, she shows them as her parents. The have a marriage date, they are shown as married...BUT...he is listed as my 6th G-Grandfather but she has no relationship shown at all and they come up as unlinked. So, I started delving into that when I realized that "first" I should do a Check/Repair of the file since a new update was added just days ago. Did that...I coming to it...have patience... The first item in the Error.Log says: There are 1 Event Name record (s) referred to that have a blank event name. We have added a new Event Definition '!Fix this Event Type-1' and the following records now point to this new Event Definition. From the Master Event Definition List you can edit this record and change it to the correct value. Event ID=5295, Event Definition Name=, Event Location=, Event Desc=. The Event Definition Name is now '!Fix this Event Type-1' I know I'm getting old and am aging even faster today but, would some kind soul please tell me how to find Event ID 5295? None of the searches I have turned up seem to work with event numbers.
