Hi, A similar thing happened to me in 3.07! I reindexed and after that, one of my descendants lists had lost 400 of its 1250 individuals. It appeared one of the couples had lost their 5 generations of offspring. So I had to reconnect them to their 11 children again manually. Luckily the offspring were so many and I knew what I had before! So, this is not really an old version problem, I would suspect... Cheers, Aida.
