I discovered this morning that I had for years had the same person shown as a father and son and have corrected this by unlinking the son's two wives with their children and re-linking them to the father, with all relevant facts etc., then deleting the son. I now have an up and down arrow, with either both parents showing, or neither depending upon which arrow I clock on, to the left of the parent's names when I click on the magnifying glass next to the children's names. I know I've had this before, and solved it, but I can't for the life of me remember how I did it. Could someone help please.

It sounds as if the children are linked to two Family Records. The desired parent's Family Record, and a residual Family Record from the deleted son. In the Property Box of one of the Children, click on the blue triangular Up to parents button at the top. Does this offer the two Families as I have suggested above? If so then open the Families Record Window and locate and delete the rogue Family, which will probably have no Husband nor Wife, just links to the Children.
