I am using FTM 2014, on a laptop with 4 GB memory. I have 6,000 persons and 1700 marriages in the database. The problem I have experienced is the "Marriage Dates" do not show up on the index when I add that data. Adding Birth, Death, etc. work fine. Then I noticed when I run the Data Error Report and ask for missing marriage dates, I get 15 pages of missing dates. When I check the report against the data base, I found that virtually every date was entered. All the other options in the Date Error Report work fine. Has anyone else experienced this or have any suggestions to correct the problem.

rewolf4, I was not able to duplicate what you reported. I added marriage Dates to the Index, they showed up as expected. The Data Error Report worked as expected. If you go to the People Workspace, Tree View is the Marriage Date in the lower part of the Right Hand Panel for a person who is married? Of in the People Workspace, Person View, is the Marriage Fact, Shared, and below the Facts for the selected person?

Hi Rewolf4 I had a similar problem with the marriage dates back in Mar 2011 and BJ provided the fix below at that time - Which basically is to re-enter the marriage in question - Can be time consuming but it fixes the problem Daryl from OZ Quote: I should have tried the "Not Married" before asking the question. After I sent the message, I did try it and found it was possible. I think it is an exception to allow for this situation. Sometimes things just get out of whack and this seems to be one of those. I'm not sure whether this will help or not. I'm trying to check my marriage dates and relationships in this way. You might give it a try and see if it helps. Using the People Family work area and its index. 1. Click Filter and make the following selections. 1. Click << Exclude All - this is probably not necessary but I want to make sure the right pane of the dialog box is empty. 2. Click Filter In...> 1. Click the Other bullet option 2. Under the Search Where - click the down arrow and select Spouse Counts 3. In the adjacent box, click the down arrow and select Greater than 4. In the Value field, enter 0 and click OK 5. You should now have a list of everyone who has 1 or more spousal relationships. 3. Click <Filter Out... 1. Click the Vital facts bullet option 2. Search Where - click the down arrow and select Marriage 3. In the field below - click the down arrow and select Any Data 4. In the adjacent field - click the down arrow and select Does not exist 5. Click OK - you should now have everyone who has a spousal relationship AND some information associated with the Marriage fact. 4. Click OK - now the index should display only individuals with one or more spousal relationships AND some type information, source or note associated with a Marriage fact. 5. Scan the index looking for those missing the marriage date. You'll need to review each to determine why the date is missing. I think that may work.
