Any > >ideas? > >Have you tried the Rebuild (Tools Menu)? I have met this problem; often in case I am importing ged's from other persons. Rebuilding doesn't help. This problem is often connected with persons without spouses but with child/children. The only way to delete these blank persons - I believe - is to split the database and in the selection phase You have to remove all blank persons from the selection; after opening a the new - the just splitted - file rebuild it.
