Which ELAN version is this? The situation of disappearing parent and child annotations resemble a bug that has been fixed in the latest version.
Otherwise, when all importing etc. has been successful, I see no reason why annotations should disappear (at the n-th sentence).

Mac version 3.7.2-1 is the version I used.

Could you check if the same error still exists in ELAN 3.8.1? Just to be sure...

Well, I would check in 3.8.1 if I could, but now I can't even import my .txt file to try it. I wanted to start over and began a new video file, .eaf, went to import the .txt file as a CSV/tab-delimited file and it opens in a separate window. I can't get the annotations into the .eaf file and I've tried the export function, import tiers function....the .txt is not being imported into the .eaf file.

I also went back to 3.7.2-1 to work on it in that version, but the same problem - it won't import the .txt file that it successfully imported before.

If the import of the text file was successful, though in a separate window, you could add the video to the window your text is in, via Edit -> Linked Files.
You could also use File -> Merge Transcriptions to merge the two files.
If import was not successful you might want send the text file to me so that I can do some testing (han.sloetjes AT mpi.nl)?
