I am encountering problems with Merging trees in Legacy 9.0.0.189 (Latest
Build) from one Legacy Tree into another using drag and drop in split screen
view and was wondering if it was a known problem or if anyone else is
experiencing the same problem.

 

The problem happens when I drag an individual (who has a wife and children
records linked) from the source file onto the matching individual in the
destination file (who does not yet have any wife and children records
linked). The wife and children are being successfully transferred to the
destination file but the children are not being displayed under the parents
in Family View because, it seems, the merge process has failed to create a
child link in the parents' marriage record for each child. This becomes
apparent when Check/Repair is run after completing the Merge routine, when a
the following message is displayed:

 

Check/Repair of Legacy Family File:
C:\Users\Acer\Documents\Family\LegacyData\Family.fdb

Date: 08-25-2017

Please check this file very carefully.

It's a good idea to run another Check/Repair after you verify the items in
this file.

 

======================================================================

There are 1 Individual record(s) that point to parents but are missing a
Child Link:

======================================================================

 

                Individual: RIN 107956, Parents' MRIN: 33962,  Fixed the
Child Link.

 

Note (1): (IMPORTANT) this only seems to be a problem when the parent's
marriage record is blank in the Source file.

Note (2): This problem occurs for all families included in the merge
criteria where the marriage record is blank. 

Note (2): this problem never occurred for me in earlier versions of Legacy.

 

I am also reporting this problem to support.

 

Thanks for your time
