I would delete them in this order. 1)Delete one of the children 2) Delete both parents from the Family View of the other child. 3)Go to edit parents marriage (right click on name in family view), and delete the marriage. 3)Delete the second child. If you delete the people before you delete the marriage, the marriage will stay in your records, unless you use PAF Insight to clean it out. (I think.)

I have a family that came over with a file that was suppose to be just "my" family. This 4 person family does not belong in my husbands file. (I have made separate files) Is it better to delete by each 'individual' (4) or should I use "delete" the marriage, then delete each individual? There are 4 people in this family, mother, father and two children..none of them links to any other person except to themselves...I do not know how this family arrived? like they did. They are in 'my' file, so they would not be deleted except in my husband's family file... Thank you. Carol -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
