Dear all (Also posted on the General board) I quite often discover that I have several different links to the same family, so I export my tree and adjust it using PAF 5.2. However, when I import my tree a random relative comes up in the primary position instead of me! This changes each time I export/import my tree! What can I do to prevent this? Anna

I had the same problem. I opened new file - inserted myself as number one on the RIN and then imported the old file in. You then need to merge the new entry for you with the old Hope that makes sense
