I used to know how to do this but can´t seem to remember. |

If I am right you simply click on the Mother icon, then edit and delete relation. |

Hi Jeffrey, yes that´s what I thought too, but it says "can´t delete multiple entries" or something like that. There is a box that says "change parents" but I can´t access that, but I´m sure in the past I used to do that. I know once I discovered a group of children born to the same father had in fact three different mothers e.g. father married 3 times. I easily was able to connect individual children to the correct mother by using the "change parents" button. It seems now I can´t do this, and I´ve entered too much info now to go back and remove each person in order to delete the extra mother. And I wonder why the "change parents" button is there if I can´t use it . Thanks for replying. |

I had a similar situation recently. Usually it is no problem but somehow an entry developed a sort of loop. I explained the problem to GR and they fixes it. |

Hi Jim & Thelma, thanks I have finally done it. Though last night nothing happened when I choose the correct one. When I´ve turned on PC now it seems to have made the correction, perhaps I needed to log out and log back in again. But many thanks for your help, saved me hours of work. Chica xx |

For the future ref remember that GR automatically adds a blank unknown partner, so you don't need to add another. Go to the blank one and change the details to what they should be. |
