OMG, you were right on, clicked Refresh and the tree is no longer showing as a
stand alone tree.
Marvelous !!!

Lucy,
Is this what you did?
You went to View - Trees in your Family File and it was showing two trees but
when you went to the person showing for the second small tree, you found them
connected?
When you went to View - Trees, did you click Refresh? This doesn't auto refresh
as it takes time and if you're working on your islands you don't want to keep
waiting for an auto refresh.
The other thing to check is whether these people are in twice. If they are,
they'll show twice on Index View with different RINs. To make it clear, it
helps to turn off showing AKAs and Married Names while you do this visual check
for possible duplicates.
If they are duplicated, then you use Tools - Merge. Make a backup first. Then
use Manual merge as that's the easiest to merge two RINs that are the same
person. When you've done that, the merge may present you with surrounding
relatives to merge.
But it's likely that you don't have duplicates, you just didn't click Refresh
on View - Trees.

Question on two trees that I have in the same family file as my main
tree. Using Version 8 with latest update.
I have a family tree of 17 people that I've now been able to find the
connection to my main tree.
So clicked on "tree" to locate it, there it is, clicked on the person
heading that tree (lowest RIN), and she came up but she is already
connected to a person in my main tree. So ? can I delete this extra
tree ?????? The idea scares me at this point.
I ask that question as I have another separate tree with about 30
people that I haven't been able to document connection to main tree
but at some point will want to integrate it into main tree. After
above was revealed to me, I went and clicked on him to see if that
tree was still separate and yes, that one is still by itself, not
connected to main tree.
I have assumed that I would find the location/person that they connect
to, connect them as someone currently in tree (not a new person), and
that the separate tree would then cease to exist. Am I totally wrong ????
I just went through a merge of two main tree files (don't ask me how I
screwed up and used the wrong database for over a year) but they are
now together and checked for accuracy. Could this have caused me to
merge that separate tree into the main one during the merge process ?
If so, why does it still show that I have a separate tree under her name ?
There are no duplicate entries in the name list, just in case you
needed to know that.
Feel pretty anal at this point
