On the menu called "lists", choose to generate a marriage list. This is NOT the menu "reports", then "marriages". When the computer completes the list, your ghost parents will be a blank line. Double click on the blank line. Highlight the person with the ghost parents. Hold down the control key and hit the delete key. You will be asked if you want to severe the links. Choose "yes"., Now you will be asked if you want to delete the individuals. Choose "no". Your ghost parents are now gone. (this is the same way you get rid of an "unknown spouse" for which there are no children for the couple) Norma
