Sue, can't you edit the individual wives and cross change their names? Or would this cause havoc? Maybe you should ADD the children again correctly and DELETE the ones entered previously? Good luck Jim

You have to be careful doing this, but if you have a good overview before hand you can do it. On the family tab, highlight the name you want changed and right click, You will see an option to edit parents link, click on this You can then click on the button unlink. Then you need to make any changes By deleteing wrong info, eg delete wrong person married, when you have everything right, you can re-link the child by add new child, chose to search for child you wish to link and then add them from the list. I hope you get the gist of this Tracie

Can any one who uses the PAF from family search please help me on this one:- One of my rellies had married twice and I have got the wives in the wrong order, it is my direct line so I need to be able to click on descendants to get me right. The thing is I have got a son in the wrong marriage and it has sent my line wrong, the line stopped when I click on the book form. Any suggestions as to how I can change the order of the wives? I can't just delete the son to the wrong marriage because I will be deleting all his descendants also ...........Help please.
