Hi there Sayler04, welcome to the forum.
I'm moving this thread to Technical Help. Also, your thread title is a little vague. Would you mind renaming it to something a little more descriptive? You can do this by clicking the "Modify" button in the upper right of your post.
Doing what you describe does typically work in these sort of situations. If you're moving in within the same save game, though, it probably will not work as the corruption will exist in the save game data, which would cause the corruption to exist in the
town, not the
family.
As an aside, you say you're "pretty sure" they're corrupted. What makes you think this? Usually corruption is clearcut, you know if they're corrupted.
