Cathy,
I solved the problem by unlinking the parents from the daughter and,
after trial error, added the parents in one by one. I tried adding
parents but got the duplicates again (BTW... when I ran a search for the
duplicates they did not exist). So, I went to the marriage list, found

If they have Legacy tell them to use File Restore Family File in
Legacy 7 or File Restore File in Legacy 8. Legacy will then extract
the family file from the .zip and store it correctly in their Data folder.

One final (I hope) silly question, but I want to make sure I do this

Hi Ian,
Take a look in Legacy at View Master Lists - Media Paths

it was only fixed if the [Default Media Folder] is Documents\Legacy

Elizabeth,
No question is silly if you don't know the answer.
It doesn't matter where they save the zip file so long as they can
navigate to it with the Legacy File Restore dialogue. So they have to
know WHERE it is but it doesn't matter where it is.
They should choose a sensible place to save
