Never Ending Ancestor Duplications V6.0

Post by Ron1951 » 02 Jan 2016 22:10

Hi,
I've just upgraded to V6 and appear to have a never-ending ancestral line, repeating the same names ad infinitum. Checking in the Records Window shows just 2 repetitions of the same man, but I appear to have him as marrying his mother, which I assume is what is causing the never-ending line.
Any idea how I can correct this without deleting loads of descendants?
Thanks!
:oops:

I cannot believe upgrading to FH V6 has upset your database.

Without knowing what changes you made to your database, and without any screen-shots it is difficult to advise how to fix it.

Have you a recent Backup you can restore? That is what they are for.

Thanks, Mike. It would be me having the chap marry his Mum!
