Ivan, Check and see if the two people are listed as different sexes, or there is no death date for one (computer won't merge a dead person with a living person). Been there... P.S. Just a polite reminder to all on the list-when hitting reply-please edit your responses so that only the question or comment you are replying to is visible. It can be difficult to get through all the repeat postings and my scroll button is wearing out. :) Message: 2 Date: Fri, 31 May 2013 13:08:38 -0600 From: "Ivan P.

Is anyone else having this problem or know why this is happening? *******************************************
