Hi, I have got two instances of myself, my wife and the two boys. How do I go about removing the right hand instance?
This began because Jack Bateson was born out of wedlock and is Jack Garbutt on his birth certificate. In trying to record this, I have created another person who has picked up the wife and kids! (He then had his name changed again at 13 to Jack Coley!)
Thanks.
John

I recommend a couple of items in the FH Knowledge Base:

Correcting Duplicate Spouses/Families (How To)

How to Handle People With Multiple Names

Many thanks. That seems to have sorted it out and the duplicates have magically disappeared!

The multiple names issue has been resolved as well, thanks to your links.
