Try this. First go to the family page of one of the people that he is havig trouble with. Go to view/ kinship report. Once that is on the screen click contents at the top menu and click # of generations to include.Make that number higher. It may be that some of the people in his data base have not been connected and this is causing the problem. There is a roots list for FTM that has a wonderful lady who can fix almost anything in FTM. She helped me straighten mine out when I thought there was no hope. If this does not work, try subscribing to that list and placing a query- I'm sure you'll get an answer.
