You may have added the whole database 2 different times. It might be easier to
remove all and start over. Where are your files?

Are you saying you sent your data twice to Ancestry? or new.FamilySearch.com? I
would contact the ISP about clean up. Deleting or merging the database you have
given/sent to them may be tricky. Call them, one expensive phone call might be
worth the reassurance it cleaned.
Or delete and restart.
I have a similar situation, where Legacy has the county name spelled
differently in 2 different states. My example is La Salle or LaSalle County
Illinois (also city). I know Legacy doesn't match Atlases/Maps/etc. I just live
with it telling me I am wrong.

other stuff, I am clueless.

You will find the Help files to be of high value, as they are more up to

or changed. Also remember that as well as the Help Page in the tool bar

Probably, if you haven't deleted or merged anyone. But the best way to tell

I know some people like RIN numbers and use them a lot. I also know that they
are important for internal functioning, but I have never found them useful in my

Well, you could have more than one flash-drive. They can be flaky so
it's not a great choice but if you have a few it might work. I prefer

There's something in there that's in the paid version only, where you
can check off only certain files within a folder but you'll get the
drift anyway.
Whenever I close Legacy I hit the backup button and make a zip folder.
If the button is not there for you, right-click on the toolbar and drag
it there.
I regularly back up my entire Legacy installation folder, like several
times a day. This is what's called a Syncback 'profile'. Legacy on my PC
