Jane, You can restore your backup(s) to a new name and recover notes if necessary. Though that requires you remember who. Just check that the notes aren't there in the merged person. I'm not exactly sure when and how this bug operates - I just know to beware. I don't do much merging. Cathy

[LegacyUG] Howto enter a name that may be part of the family
