Re: Unlinking children from father only

Hi Della

If you look up "unlinking" in the index you will get the following instructions:

**********************
If the wrong set of parents appears on a family card (in the upper-left or upper-right corner), the easiest way to remove them is to drag them to the Recycle Bin. When you drag one parent to the Recycle Bin, the spouse comes along for the ride.
If the wrong parents appear above a person's name, then the person also appears, incorrectly, as a child on the parents' card. Dragging parents to the Recycle Bin simultaneously removes the child button from the wrong family card.

The other method for removing parents is to choose Parents from the Edit menu, highlight the parents you wish to remove, and click the Remove Link button.

Helpful Tip!
Removing parents does not delete people from a family file. It only removes links. The parents remain in the family file as do each parent's ancestors and descendants.
*********************

You may need to relink the child to just one of the parents to get it to be correct on your family tree.
