Hi Myrnice,

Yes, all the tags listed below are marked primary. That was one of the
first things I looked at. Having finished reviewing the descendancy report
(768 people) everyone else's marriage, death and burial tags sorted
correctly. (On the other hand, there are many more names in my database
that are not descendants of this line :) The problem seems to be just on
this one person, and I can find nothing different about her tags to cause
it. I am trying to use Second Site in the narrative format, but my
sentences have to work without editing for that to work well.
Thanks,

Cheryl Freeman
