John Stimson III 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2014 I have an old-style Family Tree Maker database (.FTW) which contains people who are siblings, but for whom the parents are not known. In FTM, I can click on "parents of" one of the siblings, at which point a record is displayed with no names for the mother or father, but the three siblings are displayed under "children". When I imported this database into TMG directly from the FTW file, all three siblings are listed as individuals in the index, but there is no sign I can find of a relationship linkage between them. The "siblings" window shows no siblings for any of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Hannah 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2014 The only mechanism in TMG to relate individuals as siblings is to link them to a common parent. If they have a common surname, most of us users create a "dummy" father whose name only contains their surname with no other information. (Some users also like to give this parent a GivenName of something like "Unknown".) We then link all the children to this parent to create this sibling linkage.
