Hi there. I'm using PGV 4.2.3 & I have 2 .ged files. Lets call the main file "A" and the secondary file "B". I want to link the root person & all of his decendants in file "B" to the same person in file "A". That person in file "A" is ID # I3310 & has ancestors and a wife but no decendents, but in file "B" he is ID # I1 has only decendents and no ancestors. So I go into "A", select the common person, click Close Relatives, then go down to the bottom to "Link Remote Person." In Relationship to current person I select "same as current" and I enter the person ID of the person in file "B". Everything is correct. I click "Add Link" & it says the link was successful. But it lies - nothing happens. When I view the person in "A" he has no decendants. There appears to be no link, and no change to anything. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
