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.
