I’ve now ran a test with RM9 to copy people from database A to database B and found that it still retains the link to Ancestry Tree A.
I’m using Windows 11 Home edition and I have a second monitor connected to my laptop. Steps to reproduce the problem:
- Open RM9
- File → Open to open Database A (linked to Ancestry Tree A) - this is displayed on laptop monitor.
- File → Open to open Database B (linked to Ancestry Tree B) - this is displayed on 2nd monitor.
- In Database B view Person Z.
- Drag Person Z to laptop window, ie Database A.
- Pop up screen “Drag and Drop” appears.
- From this I select all Ancestors and their descendants for Person Z, generations=14, descendants=3. I also chose not to link Person Z to any existing person in Database A.
- I click OK and 21 people are copied into Database A.
- I then select Person Y in Database A (this one of the people I have just copied into Database A).
- I then click “Jump to Ancestry” for Person Y and it takes me to Person Y in Ancestry tree B !!
- I closed RM down and opened Database A in SQLite and found 21 people in the AncestryTable had an AnId that referenced Ancestry Tree B.
