PROBLEM -- Parents Reversed in attaching Marriage Source

Richard George Reynolds

William Nelson Barret - 1891–1982 LRR7-Z74 ... unique to this Record at the moment, though I have experienced it previously, and been given sources for other people with the problem already existing ....

Marriage Record --- Father and Mother are reversed. Cannot find a view that aligns the mother with the mother, and/or the father with the father. All other people in the source align correctly with the Record data.

I just attach the source father to the record mother and the source mother to the record father with a note they are cross-attached due to some sort of FamilySearch 'bug'..

BUT then Family Search, for some reason, thinks the Source is not complete, and though attached to the Record, FamilySearch keeps suggesting it be attached like a "new" source. "Dismiss" does not clear the problem.

You can always force correct alignment in the source linker by choosing a person to put as the Focus person on the left then using the ID number of the corresponding person on the right. For example, put Helen as the focus person on the left using the Change link in the blue bar then use her Family Tree ID number on the right:

Now just detach the current link and attach them correctly. It appears that the trouble with getting automatically lined up is because Helen and M are not assigned as male or female so just show up alphabetically.

The incomplete source notification has nothing to do with how you have incorrectly linked them. It is entirely due to the record for C. A. Jenkins Jr. not being attached to a Family Tree record. If you have no idea who he is and there is no way to determine this, then just click Dismiss to get rid of the notice.

Just to be completely clear, this is why the source is not complete:

Clicking Dismiss should work. Try that again.
