Family Historian 6.
In my focus window I have my root person with spouse and family. If I scroll down, exactly the same details are duplicated. How can I get rid of one of these entries?
Many thanks. Bllygee.

I suspect you have the same couple paired as Spouses twice.
On the Property Box for the Root or his Spouse are there two Spouse tabs on the Main tab with the same name and children on both tabs?
If so, the easiest solution is to delete one of the two identical Family records.
Just in case I advise you use File > Backup/Restore > Small Backup (Gedcom only).
In the Records Window open the Families tab.
(If not shown then use Tools > Preferences > Records Window options to show the Families and all other hidden tabs.)
In the Families tab there should be two identically named Family records for the Root and Spouse.
Select one and hit the keyboard delete key.
