kwc2-gtb has two marriage relationships. One marriage is to kwc2-gty which is to my biological grandmother. The other relationship is to l8b7-z4p which is a step grandmother. I would like to have the marriage to kwc2-gty be the preferred marriage but is stuck on the other marriage and will not change even after following several steps tried with the assistance of a missionary at the SLC familysearch library.

    setting a preferred person’s preferred spouse does not change the preferred parents of that person’s children.

    Looking at the tree, preferred parents for KWH5-62B are KWC2-GTB & L8B7-Z4P

    Preferred Spouse for KWC2-GTB is KWC2-GTY

    "Preferred" is a per-user setting. In other words, it doesn't matter what any of us see -- that's just the default (whatever that is).

    I don't think Rudolf Jr.'s preferred parents have any bearing: for me, it's defaulting to Martha as Rudolf Sr.'s preferred spouse, while Rudolf Jr.'s preferred parents are Rudolf Sr. and Kunigunde.

    It seems more likely to be an over-helpful browser: it's trying to save you time and bandwidth by serving up an old, stale version of the page instead of going and fetching a fresh one. The easiest way to check if this is the case is to open the page in a different browser.
