This may have worked this way in the past. But now when you click on the Unknown husband you get a dialog that asks if you want to add the husband to the currently displayed marriage. Answer 'yes' and the wife only ends up with one husband and the child is linked to this marriage ... which is what you want. Try it in a test database. -- Dennis M.
