Marilyn, Following your instructions, I could not dupllicate your issue. The "merging" of locations that I experienced were the results of me using the "globe" icon from the Individual Information screen when it was populated, incorrectly. I was under the wrong impression about what it was actually doing; and for some reason I could almost swear that it did not say "Merge location" before. But, I am obviously wrong.

However, I tried this and no people were added to the "silly location".
