Hi Teddy - If you don't have >too< many people, try this... Start with one person (maybe yourself). Work your way back up their ancestral tree and identify the RIN at each step. Use this as your base pedigree. If this was the first group you added, thos people will usually have the lowest RIN number. Move one generation back. Identify all the children that should be in each couple and start merging them in, one at a time, always to the base set of parents. You will end up with dup parents. Merge one parent and all his/her dups, then merge the other, always working towards that base RIN number parent. At the end, you may have to go back and merge some duplicate children for that couple, but when you do get a 'cleaned-up family', mark them done. The List- Duplicated Individuals, should be a guide, but not absolute. If you accidently identified a person with the wrong gender, you'll have to detach them from any marriages and then change their gender. Then add them back in where appropriate. There is a merge duplicate sources and notes, but it only works if the source is truly duplicate - even an extra blank space will throw you off. PAFInsight, as others have mentioned, will help. You can always clean duplicate notes out of someone. If you attach someone to the wrong place in the tree, just right-click on their link and delete them from the family, not the database. Then use Add Existing to put them back in the right space. Regina Barry * rmbarry1066@earthlink.net * http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rbarry4145/index.htm
