Spouse on Sibling window.

Recommended Posts

Listings in the person window:

Marriage c 1977 #1

Divorce c 1981 #1

Marriage c 1982 #2

Divorce c 1983 #2

* Marriage 20 mar 1988 #3

 

All is ok for reports; however, in the sibling window the Spouse is given as #2. The sort dates for #1 and 2 events are "01 jan (year in the M/D tag)". Same is true if tag changed from "c" to "s". Checked V7 and same thing (never noticed it before). Using V8.0.2. Any ideas!

Yes, Joe, TMG is consistent in how it handles multiple spouses whenever there is only room to show one spouse. It uses the "Last Viewed" spouse. This feature allows you as the user to decide which of multiple spouses is to show when there is only room for one. It does not always show the first or always show the last or some other fixed method, it lets you decide.

 

There are many different ways, but the most obvious way to see which spouse is "last viewed", and to change which one it is, is from the Tree View. In that view only one spouse is shown, but on that screen you can toggle through to which spouse you wish to be shown.
