Jeannette Pick the version you want before you merge and then put a check mark on the ones to be merged. Clicking automerge will only merge those exactly alike. Watch your list for those that have dots in front of the name indicating it is a county instead of a city. Some counties have same name as a big city. For those with multiple cemeteries it will still have only the one you chose. The next time you select that city, you will have a multiple choice list to choose from for cemeteries. You can merge cemeteries also if needed under place details. *** Jon On Fri, Aug 24, 2012 at 10:47 AM, Jeannette Maxey <jsmaxey@hughes.net>wrote: > What is the best way to merge place entries if I have used different > versions of the name of a place? > > Bedford Co., MI > Bedford County, Michigan etc. > > Is there away to make the change so the reference stays attached to the > individdddual person? > > Jeannette > > > =================================== > RM list Archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/ROOTSMAGIC-USERS/ > http://archiver.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/search?path=ROOTSMAGIC-USERS > WISH LIST: http://www.rootsmagic.com/forums/ BLOG: > http://blog.rootsmagic.com/ > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > ROOTSMAGIC-USERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without > the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > -- -- Jon P Czarowitz, NHC, GF, GGF, IGC Hempel Genealogist since 1986 International Genealogist for http://www.clancunninghamintl.org RootsMagic 4 http://www.rootsmagic.com CUNNINGHAMS TOGETHER - CUNNINGHAMS WORLDWIDE!
