Creating a Child's record

#1

Post by beready »

We have a new member and her infant was recently blessed. I keep trying to create a record for the infant, but I keep getting the following error:

If the record you are trying to create is listed above, please click Use This Record. Only continue if the record being created is for a different person.

It is the same person (the baby was included in the members household when her record was created), but nothing happens when I click "Use This Record", There is no hyperlink. I've tried everything I can think of. I've deleted any reference to her in her mother's records in hopes that would clear out the system. But every time I try to create a new record for this child, I get this error and can go no further.

The thing is, I couldn't even get a member record to pull up for this child. I tried to merge records and I couldn't find a record for her.

I'm not sure what is going on. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
