I have two records which each relate to the same person. Is there anyway of comparing the two records and moving events and relationships over from one to the other? I know this can be done with the "Compare databases" routine but that seems a very complicated way of doing it. JOHN BIBBY

To John Bibby I am working on a new routine to find duplicates in one database, and merge them into one person. It should be ready in a month or two.

John, that sounds like a good idea. However, it may not work well for me with all my common surnames. There must be lots of George WHITEs or James WILLIAMSes or David SMITHs. :=) Kay C. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Steed To: bk@rootsweb.com Sent: 2012-05-27 06:16 Subject: Re: [BK] How to compare records?
