First make a complete backup of your file so if you get unwanted results, you can revert to the original state. As I understand your problem, you have three individuals with multiple spouses when actually, they each have only one spouse. I.e. * Individual One has three spouses, all three are the same spouse but with different spellings of the names. For example: o Jane Smith o Jane Smithe o Jane Smyth If this is the case, you probably have three individual records - one for each of the Jane S. In this case, you need to examine each of the relationships to determine whether there are children involved. Are there different children for each relationship? The easiest way is to use Merge two specific individuals but after the merge, you want to review the children to ensure you didn't accidentally introduce duplicates of the children records. * You also have two individuals with spouse-less relationships. This is normally caused because you have children attached to one spouse but not attached to the other. In FTM 2014, I think the easiest way of handling this is to 1. Go to the People Tree work area for the person with multiple spouses. 2. Click on the spouse link in the Family panel and select the "No spouse entered" link 3. The display changes to show the individual with the child/ren but not spouse. 4. Click on the area that says "Add spouse" and input a name. 5. Select the new name and use "Merge Two Specific Individuals" to merge the new name with the existing spouse. This will link the children to the desired relationship and reduce the spousal count. I hope this helps.
