Changed ancestor but relationship sticks to original

[Steve E]

Hi -

I had "Isaac" for my GGGG Grandfather, but better evidence says it was his brother "Joseph". I changed the parent-child connection to the children below, and changed the Direct Ancestors Bold…but Isaac is still listed as my GGGG Grandfather. How do I get Reunion to recognize the change as it lists my ancestral relationships?

Thanks!

Hi Steve,

You may need to refresh your relationships. See how in manual - search "The Source Person for Relationships" (without quotes). There are several ways to do this and this section shows them.

Hope this helps,

Hi Kaye -

That did it. Thanks. I figured there was some easy way but it was not immediately obvious.

You're welcome.

When you upgrade to Reunion 11, the relationships will refresh automatically, except when you want to change the source person. Then use the routine you just used.
