Hi, Richard - thanks for responding! I looked at my file name list, which shows 829 individuals. When I scanned it, it looked about right. But I was surprised at the number, because I remembered the so-called duplicates being a LOT more. I checked the "Not Duplicates" list and discovered 3081. I may have spent hours just going around and around punching in "not duplicate" for the same list (!) of persons, because they are not in the name list twice.
When I looked at the GEDCOM file from which I took the merge, it had a name list of 607 and a "Not Duplicates" list of 0. When I ran the find the duplicates on just this file, Intellishare and user id no. duplicate searches popped up with the same nonsense. So, what do you think is wrong? Is it something in the original file? (It occurred to me that it might be a penance meted out by the originator of the data to those who haven't contributed to it and just downloaded the data (g)!)

I hope I am reading this wrong, but here is my take. You do not mention the two unique file names you are using for the two files. My example: oldfile.fdb and newfile.fdb I suspect you added the second back unto the first. Look at the Name List for each. What are the count totals for them? How many did you add to the gedcom originally, before moving? If the numbers match what you think they should be, we can discuss what may be happening. Good luck in any case.
