Subject: [GENBOX] Help required on adding children please
Date: Wed, 7 Feb 2007 17:55:39 +0000 (GMT)


This problem is driving me absolutely mad, so if anyone could offer some advice I would be really grateful.

I am trying to add children to a couple who have each had children prior to marrying each other, although neither had been married before. At one stage I wondered if the fact that each of them had a Married-not event and child before their marriage event could have been causing the problem but that scenario works okay in a test database.

So back to the problem.

On the summary screen I have mother and father 2 showing. Add child, which also creates a childbirth event for mother and father 2 both on the summary tab and the family tab. So far so good. Look at the child's summary tab or the child's parent tab and the parents are correctly entered. However, if I then look at father 2's summary tab he does not have this child showing in the children area.

In consequence if I print a chart or report with him as the focus person the children with his wife do not show.

I have tried repair/compact, removing all the children and childbirth links, repairing/compacting and adding them again. Whoever is the focus parent when I add the children has them showing in the children area and the spouse only gets the childbirth event not the actual child.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Linda
