Paula,
I have done something similar on a couple of occasion and discovered it
later. My solution has been to print out family group sheets for all
individuals involved (with RINs and MRINS) so I can see exactly what I
have for each RIN and MRIN., who has what children, events, etc. Then I
can plan what to unlink, what to delete, and what I can save without
much retyping.

I have got myself into a pickle.
I was adding two generations onto my husband's paternal line, when really I
needed to be adding three. Because the name James is used so many times, I
messed up.
Okay, I cannot tell you exactly what I did, but I discovered I had left out a generation. So, I
unlinked the (previously) oldest ancestor from the newly-entered parents & siblings. Then I
entered in the missing father, except that he needed to be part of that list of siblings, so when
I added HIS father & mother I clickec on "link to existing" to get him inserted.
Well, NOW I have two sets of identically named parents for those siblings. One set are
the parents of the James I forgot to enter, and the other set are the parents of the rest
of his siblings. They show up as "(1/2)" with their mother's name and
everything!
Is there some "combine duplicates" thing I could run? Or should I just delete
and start entering again?
Thanks!!!!!
