Correcting Relationship to Root
Posted: 18 Jun 2018 23:32
I sent an email to the mailing list concerning this and then remembered it doesn't work any more - am I correct?
I have a problem with an incorrect relationship. My grandmother's sister died so my grandparents brought up her child, Margaret Hurst. When I first entered Margaret Hurst on my database, I entered my grandparents as her parents and then added her real parents. So, when I created an ancestor chart for Margaret I got the incorrect ancestors and her relationship to me was described as Aunt. To try to correct this, I have placed the correct parents above the foster parents in the All tab of the Property box and placed an f for foster beside the relationship to my grandparents. The ancestor chart for Margaret is now correct. However, the relationship to me remains as Aunt when it should be 1st cousin once removed. I have tried unlinking Margaret from her foster parents, and then I see the correct relationship to me, but when I relink the foster parents it goes back to Aunt. Is there some way I can update the relationship to correct it?
