Important [SOLVED] Adding an existing individual as father ...

Hello,

before you say that is easy, please let me describe my situation, see also the page micha-a.info/micgen/individual.php?pid=I0265&ged=haupt for visualization.

Justina Altvater is the mother of four illegitimate children. Some months ago I have created four different families, each with one parent, the mother, and one child. I suspected four different fathers. At that time I could indentify one of them, see Candidus Schädler. I added him as new person to this specific family.

In the meantime my tree grew and I could add many individuals. Some days ago I received some new documents which states the father of Domitia Altvater, child in the first family, is Joseph Kienle b 1799. If I add a husband to this familiy a new individual is be created. But Joseph Kienle is a existing individual and creating a new one is not that what I want.

It seems that I overlooked something. If not any advice or any workaround is appreciated.

Greetings and thanks
Micha

After creating the second father/husband (and the second family record), you could use the "Merge records" option in the control panel to merge the duplicate husbands and duplicate families.

If you haven't created the second father/husband yet, you could go to the family page and Edit->Change family members.

OR, IMHO, simply merge the two families where Joseph is the father.

Greg,

thank you for remembering me that there are genealogical tools in the administration panel ;-)
