Duplication of individuals

Post by AlasdairMacG » 11 Nov 2004 23:41

I have imported a gedcom file from the web which has distant relations of mine in it - I have not yet merged it with my own gedcom file. Virtually all of the individuals in the downloaded gedcom file appear to be duplicated within it! Is there any way I can sensibly remove these duplicated individuals?[confused]

There are two options.
1. See if you can find the root cause of the problem and use the merge branch option to merge the information back together.
2. Try and build a list of all the duplicates and use the list delele option to delete them all.
