Hi everyone
Reposting in desperation! - am new to FTM (just got 2009 ed.) and am totally failing to merge duplicate ancestor lines. Have a brother and sister miles apart on the tree, each showing separate ancestor lines. How do I get them to join up on the same line and share ancestry? I've detached father and mother from brother, reattached brother to sister's parents, but although parents' descendant tree (and person details) shows both siblings (and their descendants) the ancestor tree still shows siblings separate but now no parents for brother. Have tried to reattach parents to brother but programme refuses, saying they are already in a relationship... Aargh!! I have ordered Charting Companion with the Smart Cousin facility in case this would help but the supplier say there will be a 3-week delay... Elaine kindly wrote that she thought the 2006 version had a facility whereby you could opt to show duplicate ancestor lines or not, but that this option isn't available on the 2009 verion of FTM. So any ideas would be great folks!! Thanks!!
