Lavern, When you're trying to link to an existing person and the list of
people for you to choose from is on the screen, highlight the one you want
and then click select. This will automatically link that one selected
person to the new relationship. So, no you don't have to choose the whole
list..
If the person you are trying to add (as a spouse, child, or parent) already
exists in your database and you simply input that person as if they were not
already in the database, then you'll wind up with a duplicate that you need
to merge.
Hope that helps,
Penny

Subject: [LegacyUG] Add a NEW person or Link to an EXISTING person.
Hello.
I'm having a real go-around understanding the difference between these
two options: "Add a NEW person or Link to an EXISTING person." Every
time I enter
an individual whom I know to be a relative, am I not "Adding a NEW
person", and wouldn't I select that option?
If I were to add this new person (a relative) and select "Link to an
Existing person",
that selection takes me to the name list where, it seems to me, that
I'd have to select
*everyone* in the family (direct and collateral individuals) to link
this new person?
Could someone please tell me what I'm missing here?
Thanks so much.
Lavern
