This is one of the most helpful messages I've read since signing up for the user group. Thanks. Now one for you? I cannot figure out how to get rid of a duplicate in the "location" section? It is in there three times, all but one is right. In a message dated 1/9/2008 6:16:33 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Hi Glenny, You can do a full search for duplicates and use the Merge (Tools > Merge - Find duplicates) - this may give you more people than you want to look at at the moment as possible duplicates include people of same or similar name depending how you set up the options. Usually there are numbers of people in a Family File with the same name who are definitely different people. Until these are marked as "not duplicates" a full merge can be overwhelming. The alternative is to do a Manual Merge. Tools > Merge - Manual Merge Start with one of the known duplicates highlighted in Family View - preferably the one you wish to keep. Then select the other. Once you have merged this pair you'll be presented with likely duplicates from their immediate family. When necessary, restart the process with another pair until all known duplicates are merged. For more detail on how to do this, click the Help button on the Merge window. Alternatively, if you don't have some information in one person and some in the second copy of that person, you could just delete the one you don't want - but you're more likely to mess up links that way.
