Hi Bonnie, Asking questions such as yours is exactly what this forum is all about. The function you need to perform is given by the Fix Relationships facility. You can access this by one of three methods. Either select it from the Edit menu, use the shortcut key combination Ctrl-F or select the fourth button from the standard top menu. This allows you to Connect or Disconnect the various related people in the database with the ones you have displayed in the current Family Record. When connecting people, you will be prompted for the IRN (Individual Record Number), but a Name Search is available if you do not know the number. The best way to learn is to try things out. Have fun.
