BE CAREFUL! You can merge duplicates if they have DIFFERENT record numbers. But you have to look at the record numbers. If you have TWO or more of the SAME record number do, what I described earlier. Unlink the two spouses and relink them just one time. You need to be really careful with the delete button. You could lose all your information on the person if you simply have the same person linked 2 or t times.

You cannot merge duplicate spouses because they are same person. You just desolve the marriage and extra spouse will go away.
