SORRY, I FORGOT SUBJECT LINE AND DID NOT CHECK "NOTIFY ME" OF REPLY IN THIS POSTING.
I intentionally disconnected ten children from a couple in error, but they really are their biological children. They are listed a step children of the FATHER ONLY with no connection to the mother. I want to have them as the biological children of the couple.
When I try to connect them to the father, the box containing my choices of people to connect do not contain any of the children. I have changed the filter to a very wide range of ages, and it still does not list them. (By the way, why are the people listed alphabetically by first names??)
When I try to connect them to the mother and start by clicking on her pink box, the drop down menu does not include any choices to reconnect anyone.
What do I do?
Connecting disconnected children
Connecting disconnected children
If the children are listed as step-children of the Father, then the following should work.
1. Double-click the Father's box in the Context Diagram so that he becomes the Focal Person
2. The children should now be showing in their boxes to the left of the Father. There should be a line running from each child to the Father
3. Click on the "S" in the middle of the line.
4. The dialog Parent to Child Relationship will appear
5. Select "Natural father of"
6. Close the dialog
7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for each child
If the Mother is not showing in a box below the Father's box, you will need to add her as a Wife of the Father by control-click or right-click on the Father and choosing "Attach an existing person as a spouse".
To connect the children to the Mother -
1. With the Father as the Focal Person, left-click on the Mother's box, drag a line to the first child's box and let go
2. The Parent to Child Relationship dialog will appear
3. Select "Natural Mother of"
4. Close the dialog
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 for each child
Hope this helps,
Sue
