Marriages on Family Tree Maker

Marriages on Family Tree Maker

Hi,

I don't know it this is an issue with Family Tree Maker or whether I have simply been updating my tree wrong but I noticed today that all the marriages in my tree seem to appear twice, or at least when I am using Ahnentafel Report feature. For example, this is how the information appears in the report for marriage;

Ancestor A was born on XX.XX.XXXX in Where Ever, She married Ancestor B. He was born on XX.XX.XXXX in Where Ever. She married an unknown spouse on XX.XX.XXXX

This appears only to happen where I have the marriage records linked to the person but the date of the unknown spouse is actually the date they married there actual partner. None of the people this is happening to have been married twice.

I have gone through my tree and none appear to have two marriages listed.

I hope I have explained this properly. Any help or advise on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Julie

Select the person with the “Unknown spouse” and in the tree view look at the number to the right of their name. I suspect it will be 2. Click on the icon and you will see the name of the correct spouse and unknown spouse. Select the unknown spouse. You will probably see some children listed. Use the Attach/Detach function to get these children attached to the correct parents.
