You are right that the master file will still retain the two original people, remember it was not changed while you were on the research trip. The Intellimerge will note the difference in Notes and those two will then be flagged during the intellimerge as changed. If you merge in the smaller file then there is no second person in the smaller file to be found during the intellimerge. It only works for people who are in both files.

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Book Report problem
The problem is that if you use the Quoted Name in narrative but remove the Quoted name in Name lists and where the full name is used, then there is nothing in the text that says that the person was called by quoted name. As I've often said, I'd like a sentence saying that X was known as Y where Y is the Quoted Name. For many of my people it isn't a case of was also known as as in AKA or was sometimes known as but was always known as. I get over the problem by not removing the quoted name though sometimes I'd like to. I don't add a name as quoted name and AKA. If someone wasn't always known by a nickname, I add it as an AKA, not a quoted name. Cathy At 02:05 PM 10/08/2006, you wrote: Toni You should not have put names of that type in the AKA at all.

Just to point out to you, Henry, that the Irish (and Scottish) parts of names which you mentioned (Mac/Mc, O', Ui, Ni, Etc.) are not generally considered Surname Prefixes, but are rather part of the surname itself. For example, my surname is McGlone (sometimes written Mc Glone i.e., with a space). This is an anglicised version of my name in Irish (or Gaelic), which is Mac Giolla Eoin, translated as The Son of the servant of John. My surname, however, is *NEVER* Glone. The Mc part is the anglicised version of Mac, which is the Irish (or Gaelic) word for son (of), but it's definitely part of the surname. If a surname prefix field was added to Legacy, I'm sure it would be useful for many people, but just to be aware that Irish surnames would not fall into this category. Regards, Dermot.
