Combining duplicate records.

Post by Sylvia5401 » 24 Nov 2005 20:51

I have created two records for the same person.  The lady in question appears in her own right on the maternal and paternal side of the family (two sisters married two brothers).  How do I amalgamate the records or is it just deleting one and typing in records afresh into the one left?

Select Merge/Compare Records... from the Edit menu. Select the two individuals (move them to the right hand list) then click OK to open the merge dialog.

The two will be displayed side by side with the program's best guess on how they should be merged - just refine this to what you require.
