Changing source couple

[Linda1710]

Is there a way to change your source couple. When I started my tree, I began with my husband's parents. So, now when I open my file, they are the source couple. Can I change this so my husband and I are the source couple?

Thanks, Linda

Hi, Linda -
It's easy:
1. Go to the family view of the couple you want as source.
2. Go (top of the screen) Find>Relatives.
3. Identify.

Linda,
Do this:

Open your family card.
Open Preferences
Click on startup
Click use current family
Now each time you open the file it will show your card.

For clarification:

Michael's suggestion sets the person who is the source of relationships that get displayed above the persons name button on the Family Card.

Jim's suggestion sets the Home Card, which Reunion will open to when the Family File is first opened -- assuming the "Home card" option is selected for "On startup, go to..." in the same window.

These are two separate settings.
