Hi
OK, I think that are you are working like this.
1. Open the family and select the Wife
2. On her details, click on the parents icon, 2nd from left
3. Click on Link to Existing Parents
4. You get shown a Marriage List with the Husbands name entered as 'her
surname,' and the link located by it. If her surname is blank, you get
the husband set up a ',' and pointed at a fake marriage - Unknown and
Unknown.
If I do that for her husband (in my case these are the top pair of
my ancestors), I get a Marriage List with the selection fields blank and
pointed at his marriage.
In either case, if the new parents are in the tree I can locate the
appropriate marriage and Select it.
The other way is to select the person and then right-click on the
Click to Add Father or Add Mother above them, and then take the Link to
Parents.. option. In this case you get the Marriage List set up with the
persons surname in the selection for both Father and Mother.
Otherwise, if I just click on the Click to Add option and then on
the Link to a Existing person I then get a Name List and am located to
the top with no selection set up.
Alternatively, if I thought that the parents were in the list I
would then locate them, from the Index, and add him or her as an
existing child.
I am not sure if this an issue or not, though it might be a slight
coding error.
Regards
Chris

Hi Jenny,
Say you add a wife, you know you have or you suspect you
already have her parents, she just needs to be connected,
right click on her, add existing parents, dialog box opens and
her surname is already there, simple matter of adding her father’s
given name and seeing if they are the right pair.
Now do the same thing only in reverse, you’ve added a husband,
right click on him, add existing parents, his full name is where
you
begin, nothing already in the dialog box above, yet with her it
was.
Clear as mud I’m sure.
Gene

Either I am not understanding what you mean, or I'm not seeing the same
behaviour. When I click on the "Father" sapce above an existing wife
and am asked if I want to add a new father, her surname shows in the
appropriate place, and if I a adding a father to the existing husband,
his surname appears.
