[LegacyUG] Unjustified increase in families on merge

2005-08-18 Thread Doug Laidlaw
I run a working file, and every so often I merge it with the master file. On this merge, no individuals were added, but the number of families went up from 420 to 574. A Potential problems report showed only one pre-existing entry -somebody born before his parents' marriage. Any suggestions

This is something that bothered us as well when we started our merge process. In our case we are three people working independently. When we do our merge we have now made it a standard procedure to check for duplicate parents / duplicate marriages created as a result of auto-merge and eliminate

The first one may be doing what you say. They are the parents of two siblings, but the same two are part of a family of four elsewhere, with parents who are known. There is only one link from the children - to the real parents. During the Merge process, there was no hint that the Unknowns
