Though that requires you remember who. Just check that the notes aren't there in the merged person. I'm not exactly sure when and how this bug operates - I just know to beware. I don't do much merging. Cathy Jane Linkswiler wrote: Oh, groan, and I’ve done over a hundred but only remember 1 which had a whole page of notes that I appended.

You can use the Edit button and safely make changes to the Notes there but not by replacing or appending as I understand the current bug.

Set birth age range wide. If you have duplicate entries over hours and years of work, you should find them. Then you can merge the records and connect them as required with the merged info. Currently, if you have notes to merge from two different records, you must copy the notes for each person to notepad or some other program, do your editing, finish the merge, then modify the notes using the saved Notepad file. If you try to append notes from one record to another during the merge, they will be lost. Jay ingalls
