How do I Move One Child from One Family to Another

[bkthomas]

I mistakenly entered three children in the family of the correct father but the wrong mother (B). I have entered the correct mother (A) as another partner of the father. How do I move the three children from the family with the wrong mother (B) to the family with the correct mother (A)? The father also has two children by B. The "Take Children from Another Family" would appear to move all the children which would create the reverse problem with the other two children. Suggestion?

In this case, go to the family window for mother A. Click in the Children area. Press command-F and select the first child to be moved. Click OK in the alert. Do the same for the second and third child. That will do it.

If you know the RINs of the three children, you could also do a command-R and enter the RIN, doing this for each child.

Another way is to go to each child and remember them in the Recall menu. Then go to the correct family, click in the Children area and select the child from the Recall menu. You probably want to "forget" the children in the Recall menu after you finish.

Best,
