Subject: [NEWGEN] Deleting FTM Family Pages
Date: Sun, 9 Dec 2001 00:28:21 -0600 (Central Standard Time)


I am completely befuddled. Working backwards in FTM, I began entering new
data in a blank Family Page for the parents of the oldest individual (Mr
1-for whom I had many fields filled) I had for Family A. I entered all
children including Mr 1, along with all other data. That I suppose, was a
mistake because now I have a new, blank Family Page for him. Clicking on his
name tab from his fathers page (the one just created) takes me to the blank
page, showing only his name. His name only shows up once in the Index of
Individuals, which when clicked takes me to the original filled out page.
My questions are:
1) Can I delete the almost empty Family Sheet, or do I have to highlight
his name there and delete him as an individual?
2) If I do the latter, will it delete him altogether in FTM?
3) How should I enter the new four generations of data I recently obtained
to prevent this? It would seem that one should simply click "Parents of Mr
Whomever" to keep every thing in order. Wrong?
Many Thanks-Paul
