Thanks for supplying the animated screen capture - it clarifies the 'problem'.
In the examples you show, the reason a hyperlink is being created when you move the second tree is that there is family remaining (of your father) in the original GenoMap, so the hyperlink is created to maintain the link. In the first example, no individual with any remaining family in the original GenoMap is moved, so no hyperlink is created - if your father was also selected before the move, a hyperlink would again be created.
As I indicated in my original reply, hyperlinks will not be created from a family line, only from individuals (I believe this has been suggested previously as a possible feature in a future version of GenoPro).
If you don't want the hyperlink you can change the action in the hyperlink tab of the individual's properties,

I don't understand. My father remains in the original GenoMap and his daughter, Lucille, IS moved, on Ruby, his first wife, to the Cohen GenoMap. Not only is no link created but the marriage (divorced) doesn't show in the original GenoMap.
My daughter's second husband is moved and no remaining family other than his wife, my daughter, remains and a link IS built so the marriage shows still. My sister's husband is moved with their three sons and his wife, my sister, remains in the original GenoMap and NO link is built and no marriage is shown.
I see no consistency here.

I can only reiterate - hyperlinks can only exist for individuals. If no individual with remaining family in the existing GenoMap is selected, then the selection will be moved, no hyperlink created, and the selected components in the original GenoMap deleted.
As an alternative in the first example, if you deselect the family line to your father from the selection (hold shift and click on the line) then when the family is moved a hyperlink will be created to his first wife and the family line will remain on the original GenoMap.
There is one other possibility which is causing the confusion: is your father connected as a parent to the family line for his first wife? Pull the family line down to see if there is a connection.

I understand that a hyperlink is a "property" of an individual.
I am not sure what you define as "no individual with remaining family in the existing GenoMap" since my fathers daughter, my half sister, is moved to the new GenoMap built on her mother, his first wife, and that leaves him as family remaining in the original GenoMap, to say nothing of myself and my sister (both of us from his second marriage), does it not? And yet no link was built on anyone (see the video).
The "family line" is the horizontal line showing wife and husband names, divorce (in this case) and number of children? If so, moving this line down draws down the line from both the wife and the husband. This confirms he is connected, does it not?
What I don't understand, at the bottom of it all, is that creating a GenoMap worked exactly as I expected for a number of other "marriage/divorce" relationships in the original and yet for my sister's marriage and my father's first marriage it just doesn't work.
I guess you have given me information to work with and at some point I may rebuild my original tree using GenoMaps from the start. I will also look into creating a hyperlink on each person I wish to remove off to a "family" of their own to make readability easier.
I also want to become comfortable with putting two GenoMaps back together as one at some point. I am very inexperienced in the use of this software so maybe practice is what I need right now.
Thank you for your time and attention to this request for assistance. You may consider this thread closed.
