Repeating spouses on Focus Screen and Trees

Post by rfj1001 » 05 Jul 2009 19:02

The attached image shows a screenshot of my Focus screen

You'll see I have Clement Winnett and Ruth Molyneux with two children (Margaret and Martha).

Immediately below that I have a repeat of Clement and Ruth (same record numbers) with their other child (Robert).

A similar situation shows in a family tree diagram.

Obviously I'd like to be able to stop the repetition but don't know how.

Does anyone have any ideas ?

For info, there are two possible events that may be relevant:

1) I found I had 2 Clement Winnetts - so merged them.

2)There is a complex marriage between cousins, a generation further down..

Thanks

You at some point have probably merged records and not merged the family record. On the records window go to the family view find the two family records and merge them, using Edit/Merge Records having selected the two records.

Thanks Jane,

You were correct - merging the two family records sorted it out [smile]
