Hi Joe, Reading between the lines in your description, it sounds like you have a father with two spouse records giving you two marriages, and one of them has the 'xxx /UNKNOWN/ name with the children linked to the marriage. If this is correct, then make a note of the RIN's for the 'xxx /UNKNOWN/ spouse and the children, and then double click on the marriage entry in the Family View to get the Edit Marriage record. Click on the Delete button to the right which will unlink everyone from that marriage. Then using the RIN numbers you jotted down, delete the Individual record for the 'xxx /UNKOWN/ spouse, and link the children to the remaining marriage entry. If the children are already linked to the correct marriage, then you won't have to do the last step. If I have interpreted your message incorrectly, please let me know.
