parent/child link problems

[benbrink 0]

I have a child (my 19th ggf) linked to two primary parents--however the parents show as no relation (should be 20th ggf and ggm). I have deleted these parent links and re-added them. same problem. I have shut down the program and restarted it, same problem. what to do?

Have you clicked on 'Refresh Relationships' (Preferences / Current Project Options / Other) since you added the 19th ggf?

 

To make it more convenient you can add a toggle button for the Automatic Relation tag to your custom toolbar. It is the last item on the list of Unused buttons: Toggle Relation auto-tag.

As Virginia notes, the relationships must be manually updated. I suspect it is not automatic as this would probably slow the program down quite a bit as the number of people in your database grew.

Thanks much. That fixed the problem. I must have lost the relationship while cleaning up. I deleted a primary parent tag in a descendant and lost the relationships to the ancestors. When I re-added it, it didn't reconnect.
