It is all about the privacy settings.. If people are alive, it protects them by not linking them to their parents unless you select a different setting. Go to your file and select preferences and change the setting

Russell The same has happened with my file on there, some parents have become detached from their offspring but as all have died before 1930, i don't think the 'because of the privacy settings can apply' to them. The children are still shown but have no parents when you open the family page. Strangely though they do show their children. As there is not many preference changes you can make to your file and the gedcom works perfectly in other downloads i cannot see the reason on Gencircles.
