When you unlink a father from a marriage, any children are also removed from him, but stay linked with the mother. That's why Sarah is no longer a child of John. Suggest you get things straight in your own mind before pruning and grafting within a tree. Have a very good idea (on paper) of how you want things to end up looking. Now, create another diagram of how things look now. You'll want to record the RINs on the individuals and the MRINs on the marriages. Now, it's a matter of unlinking and relinking children so that they're with the right marriage(s) i.e.the right set of parents. Any duplicate people should be unlinked from everyone, and then deleted. -- Regards, Mike Fry (Jhb) Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
