I am not sure if I fully understand but here goes.
Say for example you have husband and wife with several children.You then discover that some of the children have a different father.
Add this man to the wife,as a partner.
Now click on a child who has a wrong father.
Go to "edit tools"
"change parents"
There is a dropdown box in the white part of the screen
select correct parents
"change parents"

if i click the fathers name it comes up correctly but only shows the children from one marriage or another. same with the mother. if i go back to main screen the two sets of parents get confused and it only shows half the children.

Have you clicked on the names of the men, to check which children are actually shown as theirs?

Just a thought........

You have to enter both sets of 'first' partners.....if full details are not known, just put 'Unknown' where relevant

this has probably been asked before but i cannot add children from a previous relationship to my tree.

1 couple both had children from previous marriages when they married but if i add the second husband it shows up that the two men were parents to all of the children.

how do i add so it shows correctly?

Thanks. :)
