That is a very good idea, but I never do any large merges anymore without first preparing the file to be merged side by side with the master file. I assign each duplicate the sameUser Id as the person in the main file so that I get seamless merges. This is long and tedious but I never get any errors as I double and triple check everything.

I suggest that you create at least one person for these marriages. If you know the surname of the family then as Ron Ferguson suggested create a husband with that surname. If you do any merging, these marriages with blank people will multiply. to see a full explanation of why they exist visit the archives and see the email from Ed Barnard dated 21 Jul 2005 with subject Large Files. If you cannot find it Email me off list and I will forward a copy to you. Brian Kelly Rockland, ON, Canada Matt Henderson wrote: > I figured out how to find the ghost location!
