RuthAppleby 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2015 I descend from two siblings. One sibling is shown with the correct relationship of "....grandmother" while the other sibling is shown as "....uncle". Despite refreshing relationships, the error remains. I have tried unlinking and relinking, and also unlinking and creating a new person as father, then merging the new father with the "uncle" - then the correct relationship is shown but the new person always has the new identity number, rather than retaining the old (and I have tried ticking each before merging ). I need to retain the identity number as it relates to references outside the database. Help please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Byram 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2015 Which ID# is retained depends who is on the left when merging. You can always change the ID# to the one you want. (Tools / Renumber People) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RuthAppleby 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Thank you! I found that if I changed the original person to the left side, the relationship did not correct itself. However, if I left the new father on the left, and then changed the number after the merge, the relationship did remain corrected. (I hope I said that clearly....)
