This is easy. In fact, I am in the process now of cleaning up my place list because, like you, I have used different versions of the same place. 1. Open Place List 2. Select all those you wish to merge 3. Click Merge 4. If you need to edit the final version - click Edit and make the corrections 5. Click "okay" Have fun :) I'm doing this one alpha letter at a time.

Make sure that you don't have your cemeteries or other descriptive things separated and then merged.
