John, Use the new Compare Databases routine to copy the information into you main data base. Here's the steps 1) Create a copy of your data base in another folder 2) Load BK 3) Go to File-->Utilities-->Compare two databases (down near the bottom) 4) Start the comparison and copy the events you want from the right to the left using the proper buttons. Jim Ps: Let BK do the work versus you;-) -----Original Message----- From: bk-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:bk-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of John Bibby Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2012 4:23 AM To: bk@rootsweb.com Subject: [BK] Duplicate entries - two further ideas I wrote yesterday regarding duplicate entries. I got several responses all of which said that basically the method outlines on p.67 is the only way to deal with it. (Decide which one you want to keep; copy all info over from the other; then delete the other.) I do this - but generally I rename the 'deleted' one "John deleted Smith", so it is still there just in case I make a mistook. However, two other possibilities have occurred to me: 1. Can I export GEDCOMs for the two relevant items; then edit the GEDCOMs in some clever way (I don;t know how); then import the GEDCOM which will give just one individual obatined by merging the other two. 2. Would it be possible in future to have an "Is identical to" relation? This would keep them as two records but would regard them as one individual. Any comments please on the feasibility of the above?
