Hola How can I find out which are someones parents if there is nowbody in the parents locations.
And if I try to conect that person to the parents I know he belongs to, the program says that he "..is already a child of another family. Add as a child to this family talso?" I can view that person as a child from his father. I can go from the father to the son. BUT I CAN NOT RETURN FROM THE SON TO THE FATHER, AS THERE IS NO FATHER SHOWN. The father has only one wife. The mother has 2 different husbands. Any sugestion to fix this problem?
