I'm new to genealogy and came across it viastarted to build my tree in http://familyecho.com/ -- please let me know if this question is not perfectly on-topic here and I'll doafter entering my bestinitial family I noticed an issue in the information I so far have not been able to correct itfigure out. Here's my issue:

  • I started out with myself, and I added a lot of people including my wife. I found an option to specify relationship type and selected "married". I was then listed as her husband, and she as my wife. OK!
  • Problem: Revisiting these fields I now discover that we are listed as "ex-husband" / "ex-wife" and I can't figure out how to fix that. I also don't know how it happened.
  • I've exported the tree in GEDCOM format and in CSV format. It looks like the error is in my record, but I see no way to fix it:
  • In the CSV format, there's a column "partner" and a column "ex-partner" -- all records are correct except mine which holds the reference to my wife in the "ex-partner" column.
  • In the GEDCOM export file, I can see a line 1 FAMS @F6@ where "F6" is the reference to my wife; but I don't see anywhere in GEDCOM that specifies the relationship type, specifically the erroneous "ex-" part.
  • The Issue: I found my marriage lines in the end of the GEDCOM file where the and noticed a line reading "2 TYPE Ending" underneath "1 EVEN". To my untrained eye, this seems to be the culprit - is it indicating that the marriage is noted as ending? That's not actually the case, but I can't see how I can correct it in the web application.

The GEDCOM format is stated as version 5.5.1.

Update: I found my marriage lines in the end of the GDECOM file where the and noticed a line reading "2 TYPE Ending" underneath "1 EVEN". To my untrained eye, this seems to be the culprit - is it indicating that the marriage is noted as ending? That's not actually the case, but I can't see how I can correct it in the web application.

As I've already shared this tree with family members, I'd rather not hand-edit the GEDCOM 5.5.1 formatted file and upload it into a new tree. (I could actually do that, just to see if it fixes the issue! But as I wouldn't like to keepattempted that but it as the new master tree.) edit: Nope, didn't fix itseem to work. What else can I
