Thank you for your reply Jon,   I'm sorry that I didn't make my posting clearer. I should have said that I must have entered this man twice (at different times), he has two different record numbers, and I must have entered different details on the two occasions, i.e. His parents and childen on one but not his grandchildren and his children and grandchildren on the other without entering his  parents and their details.   Maureen     From: Jon Czarowitz <czarowitz@gmail.com> To: Maureen Ellen <maureen.ellen@rocketmail.com>; rootsmagic-users@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, 22 September 2012 12:21 PM Subject: Re: [RMagic] Merging a person and his family Maureen This may not be a duplicate, but 2 views. Go to tools and click on merge/manual. Select his name, but look above and below him for the same name. If there is none than it is not duplicated. The views you describe can be from the  descendant view with him highlighted and the number of generations selected to include Grandchildren. The other view is with his parent highlighted and only 3 generations on the slide bar.
