Second Site reports to me that person #6799 has two primary parents. When I go to #6799 everything seems OK. However when I click on the father (only) he has the same daughter twice with identical #6799. Before I go charging in and doing something potentially incorrect I thought I might just check for hints and tips please Andrew Clark

Andrew, See the SS FAQ entry for this topic: http://ss.johncardinal.com/faq.htm#multprim The basic approach described there is to go to the child's record in TMG and toggle the primary father (or mother, as the case may be) to off. When you do that, the current version of the link to the father will become non-primary, and will drop down into the tag list. That will allow you to see the other primary record. From there, you can review the two records and decide which you want to be primary, which you want to delete, etc. John

Thanks John for this. Follow up question please. Is this something I've done or is it an aberration in TMG?
