A link to the guidelines is included at the end of every posting. Ron Bernier Richard, thanks for the reply. I "undid" the merge and supposedly restored my file to the status prior to the merge. The marriage/spouse dups are still there. Therefore, the dup issue must have been created upon the importing of my wife's file into mine, which results in duplication of everyone in the file. But I would think that then merging and searching for duplicates should undo any duplicate marriage links created by the import. I don't see any options or settings that relate to duplicate marriages during merging. I have attached a screen shot of the first manual merge person (out of 314) that comes up when I use IntelliShare. These 314 were found by the program to have differences between my file and my wife's file. You can see that the left side of the screen shows duplicate spouses (my file) and the right side shows the correct single spouse (my wife's file). The reason this person requires manual merging is because I made some corrections to the Birth and Residence location fields--the differences between the two files has nothing to do with duplicate spouses. Since I did my cleanup from the gedcom transfer in MY file, it has the most correct information regarding place and event names. So I want to be sure to keep those when I merge. However, I don't want to keep the duplicate spouses that are showing on the left (my file) side of the screen. What do I need to do to "throw out" the duplicate spouses created by the import of my wife's Legacy file, but at the same time keep my file maintenance changes? And why isn't this done automatically? I'm still not sure if there is something I am doing wrong or if this is a problem with the IntelliShare feature. Thank you! Dennis Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?
