Family Tree Pickle - I don't know how to fix.

Gail Swihart Watson

If you click on Ernst Muller, GZ5Q-YZR, you will see one of his daughters Elisabeth, GZ5Q-M2Y. Unfortunately both father and daughter are listed twice, with same IDs, once with mom and sisters and once without mom or sisters. See attached photo. I want to remove the relationship with no mom or sisters (again, see attached). I am afraid to edit the relationship that contains no mom and remove it because I am terrified it will remove Elisabeth in both places. I tried to add mom, but got an error message the relationship already exists. How do I fix this? I am hoping it is quick and easy. (I don't even want to know how I created it...)

As you know, I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

FYI

Since the MOVE to this NEW Platform of the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum, unfortunately, the activity in some of the 'Groups', in the Forum, has waned considerably.

Again, unfortunately, although, I am a "Group Leader", I DO NOT have the ability to "Move" (as, I would like to), this post of yours, in this 'Group', to a more appropriate Section, in this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum; which, I suggest would be, either, (or, BOTH), the (1) "Q and A" (ie. 'Category' = "Family Tree") Section; and/or, the (2) "Ideas" (ie. 'Topic' = "Family Tree") Section, of this Forum.

As such ...

Can I humbly suggest that, you consider REPOSTING, this "Discussion" of yours in this 'Group", in either, (or, BOTH), the (1) "Q and A" (ie. 'Category' = "Family Tree") Section; and/or, the (2) "Ideas" (ie. 'Topic' = "Family Tree") Section, of this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

I think that with the waning of this 'Group', you would be much better off served, REPORSTING in the aforementioned.

I am so very sorry, that I cannot be of any real help/assistance.

Good Luck.

In general, the most efficient and reliable way to handle this situation and the best way to make sure the underlying data of all these people is handled correctly, is to add a wife, call her mk, as a temporary duplicate for Maria then merge Maria and mk. You only have to add the first name of mk and click deceased, nothing else, when you create the duplicate.

@Gordon Collett I got it fixed through a process in the other Q and A location (which seems to get more traffic). Thank you very much!!
