I have added a new data base to my excisting one and merged the common people. I can not for the life of me figure out how to merge and not get two sets of parents and spouses. Can someone please help. Thanks Melissa
Melissa, You also have to merge the parents and spouses. When you do the duplicate marriages will also be merged. Another way would be to leave the parents and spouses out of one of the databases you are merging. Walt ----- Original Message ----- From: "M.

All; PAF only merges the marriages if they are IDENTICAL in every respect. Richard L. Halliday West Linn, Oregon Walter Anderson wrote: > Melissa, > You also have to merge the parents and spouses.
