The case of the UnKnown Spouse
Some times you will see, in a People Workspace, Person View the term "[unknown spouse]
Just above the Marriage Date is that [unknown spouse] entry.
In this case, there was a gentleman with no children, NO Spouse entered. The key is that there is that marriage date.
Clicking on the Person menu, select Attach/Detach option and DETACH
Put a check mark in the Unknown Spouse "name". You need to watch IF there are Children.
In the case of one spouse and a child, without a Marriage Date, that "unknown spouse" may appear in the Person View, but nothing to Detach.
For my screen capture example, putting a Check Mark RESOLVED that Unknown Spouse, but the Tree View did NOT Change.
I have not found an easy way to find these "unknown spouse" entries, but they usually come from a Merge.
I found this one, by running a Marriage Report, Sorted by Wife, then looked for a Marriage Date at the Bottom of the list.
There is a Caution Here. That is the Marriage DATE will be removed. So, BACK UP your file before you do this OR, If you don't like the results, immediately do a Edit, UnDo

The above is in People Workspace, TreeView
This is different from an "unknown" spouse if you have a Spouse with a Child.

FTM2014 - Child Attached to the Wrong Parents
BACK UP BEFORE DOING THIS
Have a family with a Father with 4 children and a wife. New documentation shows that he was actually married twice, and that the 4th child was actually from the 2nd marriage.
*How to Correct this?*
Key words are *Detach" from the incorrect relationship and *Attach* to the correct relationship.
