It would have saved me the headache of match and merging. I wish I had known about checking the index before adding a spouse. It would have saved me the headache of match and merging.

So from what I'm guessing Ben did, which was to have the marriage already in place with the date, then break it by dragging one spouse out to the clipboard prior to the demo, then for the demo dragging that spouse back onto that family card it used the marriage that was already there with a date and no spouse.

I have ancestors who married first cousins which caused brides and grooms to be repeated throughout my tree. I spent a great deal of time using match and merge. Now I know what to do. Thanks.

It looks like an anomaly with Reunion 9.08. I had the couple married and removed Andrew before recording the screencast.

I checked the video produced from ScreenFlow and it drops out, so I'm re-rendering it now. I'll post a follow-up article when I have it sorted out. Thanks Lewis.

I've tried a second time and it happened again. If it's systemic, you will hear from others. Ben

A couple of comments and a question. First, the video didn't start the first two times I tried. Once it did, the audio dropped out midway through the presentation.

Now the question: When you brought the person in as a marriage to an existing person, it also brought the marriage date and place (20 May 1903, SLC, SL, Utah). How did it know when and where the marriage took place?

Thanks,
Warren
