Adapting an existing family file to change family view members

[Bruce Echberg]

I am new to Reunion but have a Reunion file created by a cousin. It has been imported as my family fie but I am not at the centre!

I am wondering if it is possible to edit this file to make my family at the centre, to delete obscure relatives and and new data?

Or is it best to start from scratch and enter data I want from the old file printouts using the keyboard?

I couldn't find any obvious instructions about this situation in the manual.

Any ideas welcome?

From Help at the top of the screen, go to Contents and type Home into the search box. This will sort you out.

For me, if they are relatives, they are never too obscure, but anyway, to do this, drag them to the clipboard and then clear it.

Thanks I will give that a try and will use caution about unwanted relatives!

I strongly suggest that you duplicate the file as it is before deleting "unwanted relatives."
