I have a situation where I have inadvertently added spouses in the wrong order - I realize now that the spouse/partner #1 is not the current spouse but rather is the first chonologically. My problem is this - I know the spouses names but not the dates - I can "force" a switch by putting in artificial marriage dates but it doesn't "stick" when I remove the dates.
Q - is there some way to change the order of spouses/partners when one doesn't know the marriage dates? Also the next wrinkle is - what if there wasn't a marriage at all - but just a new Partner?
Switching the order of Spouses
I believe I've now fixed this in my tree. I hope this will work for you if you haven't already fixed yours.
In the tree, click on the first spouse's name you had typed in. In the "editing pane" below, highlight her name and type in the correct name, thus the right name replaces the incorrect name. Continue with the next spouse(s).
The order was unaffected by the dates.
