Marriage entries

Post by Tonybee » 06 Jun 2011 14:29

I have finally found some time to get back to working on my families.

I have started to enter some newly found marriages.It seems before it was quite straight forward, open the female section enter the marriage, job done.

Now if i click on a female or male, the marriage entry option comes up under male, But i would like them to show under the female. at the moment i have mixed bunch, some marriage entries are under female whilst others i view are male.

Thanks

Where are you looking, on a diagram, the property box or focus window?

If it's a diagram the marriage is normally shown under to spouse of the relation, so if it's a daughter of the root person the man will have the marriage.

This is because where multiple marriage occur the spouse will only have one relevant marriage where as the blood relation will have more than one on a single box.


Remember the marriage is not stored against a single person, but rather against the Family record for the couple.
