Moving groups of people

Post by KenP » 15 Jan 2015 10:55

I have children that I have attached to what I thought was their Mother and Father but with new information I now know they were descended from a different sibling. Is there a quick way to move the children and their descendents from what I thought were their parents to the correct parents.

Yes Ken, have a look at how_to:index#beginners_guide|> Family Historian > Beginners Guide > Relationships.

In particular, how_to:removing_unwanted_relations|> Removing Unwanted Relations and how_to:changing_relations|> Changing Relations.

The technique is to Unlink the Children from their current Parents (using the Focus Window is best).
Then you can link them to their correct Parents in the usual way via the Property Box of the Father/Mother.
