After discussing filing systems, I decided this morning to check my marriage list and I found hundreds of marriages with Unknown and Unknown. When I got to investigating further I found that each marriage had either a source attached, a marriage note, or a date. I went through a number of these marriages and deleted all the data and then had Legacy renumber the MRINs. Several were reused, but most were not. I then went through the same ones and made sure I removed the marriage link. These marriages disappeared from the screen, but when I had Legacy renumber the MRINs these were not reused and showed up again.
I am assuming these marriages were created when I imported my GEDCOM file from FTM for the Mac after I got my Windows computer and started using Legacy again. It looks like each marriage was created as it should have been with all the data and then the marriage data was also placed in blank marriages thus creating these “ghost” marriages. I have tried compacting the family file, and check and repair but nothing has helped. These “darling” marriages still show up. I feel like there must be something I am missing and need help finding it.
