Merge individuals within ged.com

Post by dspivey » 30 Jun 2005 23:34

I can't find this elsewhere on the Wish list. It would be very useful to be able to compare and merge two individuals within one's tree, when you find out they are one and the same person. The only way I can find to do it is to split one (with his offspring) off to another tree, and then compare and merge the two trees. Am I missing something simpler?

Thanks
Diane

Make sure you have version 2.3, this function came in in 2.2 I think.

Thanks Jane - I must have missed this as a refinement on the later versions. I'll give it a go.

Best
