Hello John, The problem is not source related, the problem is that it looses the second witness entry for some marriages when you merge the database in to another one or do a split database for all people. It only happens on 1 database that I have and works correctly for the others.

Are the witnesses an existing family member? Or an un-related person? Or is the error of either relationship of witness? Is Type of witness an issue that might produce the error?

To Keith D OK, so the witnesses are showing correctly in a database. Then you merge that database with another one, and then some witnesses are missing. So is the witness link missing, or is the actual witness person missing also? Perhaps you can send me a private email with more information or with a zipped backup of the problem database for me to test with.
