To J. P. Gilliver If you are on Edit and you are showing at the top a child, and if the father and mother are showing, and if you click on Father, you want it to show the spouse who is the mother. I understand what you want. Perhaps someday I can give that option. However, not all people want it to work that way. If you click on Father, you are asking to see the information about the father. So it shows the first spouse of the father. It is consistant. If you are using Find and you type in the name of the father it finds the father and shows the first spouse of the father. It is consistant. You can then pick which spouse you want to show. John Steed ----- Original Message ----- From: "J. P.

Yes, I can see that it requires some history to be both recorded and processed (the route by which you got to a person), which you are not doing at present. [] -- J. P. Gilliver.
