In our records all primary age girls show up as a relief society member. Is there any way to remove them from the Relief Society group?

I'd suggest reading Resetting classes as someone may have messed up the class rules for Relief Society.

In MLS, go to Organizations > Relief Society, then in the list of members, remove those who should not be in that organization.

Note that there is no way to reset classes for the Relief Society although you could reset the classes for each individual, but that is very tedious.

Could bad Primary class rules cause this?

No. Rules control how members are added to a class. The rules for RS are what controls who is automatically added to RS, and those rules are hard-coded.

So how did all these girls end up in Relief Society - unless the computer's date is way off? It seems unlikely someone would re-assign them one-by-one.

The computer date being way off seems very unlikely -- that would cause significant finance issues.

You can move a lot of people into an organization in one action -- it doesn't have to be done one by one. That still seems unlikely, but it's either that, or some significant malfunction or corruption of data.

There was an issue fixed in MLS 3.6.1 that may be related to this. Before MLS 3.6.1, clicking "Select All" on the member list would select everyone in the list. That is the most likely culprit for moving everyone to Relief Society. As of MLS 3.6.1, clicking "Select All" should only select members who match the rules for that class -- adding someone to the class that doesn't match the criteria requires manually selecting them in the list box.

I believe post #3 is the answer. The rest is trying to figure out what happened and how to prevent it.

Reset primary classes did not remove Relief Society from the kids. Also tried removing relief society from individual record, will only let me move them to young women's there is no selection for primary. Any other ideas or info I can pass to help get this fixed?

Do you have a primary? I wonder if the class got deleted.

You might want to try Resetting classes.

Rather than removing individual members from Relief Society and assigning them to individual Primary classes, it would be faster to go through each Primary class and use "Add Members" to pull in the appropriate members for that class.
