PS - to my first note - It has just registered with me that you say you are using PAF 5.1 - Do yourself a big favour and update to 5.2 - will do nothing for your problem but will save tears in the future - just go to familysearch.org and download the 5.2 version and install it over the top of your existing installation. ==== Stewart -----Original Message----- From: Teddy Markhart [mailto:foxfordgrad@yahoo.com] Sent: 03 July 2005 00:55 To: PAF-5-USERS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [PAF-5] Match and Merge I am new to genealogy and my PAF 5.1 program. Many of my ancestors married first cousins and I just kept adding the ancestors. So I have a lot of the same people entered more that once. Finally I realized that I could just add the ancestor from "existing" I have tried to match and merge and ended up with a real mess. Double notes and double parents I know I am doing something wrong but no matter how many times I have tried I still can't get it right. Can someone please help me figure this out before I have to delete the files and start all over again. Thank-you so much --------------------------------- Yahoo! Sports Rekindle the Rivalries.
