This is one of the most helpful messages I've read since signing up for the
user group. Thanks. Now one for you?
I cannot figure out how to get rid of a duplicate in the location section?
It is in there three times, all but one is right.

Hi Glenny,
You can do a full search for duplicates and use the Merge (Tools
Merge - Find duplicates) - this may give you more people than you
want to look at at the moment as possible duplicates include people
of same or similar name depending how you set up the options. Usually
there are numbers of people in a Family File with the same name who
are definitely different people. Until these are marked as not
duplicates a full merge can be overwhelming.
The alternative is to do a Manual Merge.
Tools Merge - Manual Merge
Start with one of the known duplicates highlighted in Family View -
preferably the one you wish to keep.
Then select the other.
Once you have merged this pair you'll be presented with likely
duplicates from their immediate family.
When necessary, restart the process with another pair until all known
duplicates are merged.
For more detail on how to do this, click the Help button on the Merge window.
Alternatively, if you don't have some information in one person and
some in the second copy of that person, you could just delete the one
you don't want - but you're more likely to mess up links that way.
