Hi Joy, I would suggest that you merge the individuals instead of removing them. Go to help, contents search, I put in the search terms 'delete a duplicate name'. It retrieves a list, one of them in the titles is Duplicate Search Merge. You have choices to find people where the following information matches under names, birth or death information. You can enter the information and the window gives you the directions on how to merge the names. These instructions are in RM5. I hope it helps in resolving your issue.

I need to find out how to remove (or delete) a person. I added the new husband of a granddaughter. Then I tried to add his parents. Somehow I have duplicated their names, so I would like to remove them totally and then start from scratch and make sure I add them correctly. I can find unlink a child from parents, but not parents from child. I can also find delete facts, but it's not the fact I want to delete, it's the people. Thanks for help with this.
