    3. Almost certainly something messed up int he pointers here. Try removing that problem child (disconnect Fix Relationships) and then reconnecting. Are you certain that he is properly listed under the right couple? I would certainly double check all that.

The betrothed Female B was pregnant but called off the marriage, later giving birth to a son. The Male A then later married another Female C and had three children. I listed the first woman Female B as "Engaged to be married" (and as a spouse) and showed the male offspring as a result of the union. Then I showed the second female Female C as a second spouse having married the Male A and producing three offspring. When I run the report, it says (under the Male A name) Male A engaged to Female B, then Male A married to Female C, then lists the children of the marriage, then lists the children of the premarital relationship saying "They had the following children" etc but it doesn't distinguish the fact that this child is the result of the first relationship. I haven't had this situation occur in other multiple relationships, and as a matter of fact I have anothe! >r situation in the same report, a defacto with children from the first marriage, that reports correctly. Can you advise please. PS I'm using CFT 2.26. ---------------------------------------------------------- Ira J.
