Re: [LegacyUG] Help with deleting without deleting :)
First, don't delete people, unlink them.

I merged records several months ago. I now find that I am listed 3 times as well as my husband. I deleted one of the listings of my husbandand now he is gone out of my pedigree! Help how do I get him back!! I added him again by typing in his info, but now how do I link him to his parents and the rest of his ancestors? When I print out a family group sheet, either he or I were showing up 3 times. I just wanted to get rid of 2 of the listings. How do I delete 2 of my listings without losing me like I did my husband? :( Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: [LegacyUG] Help with deleting without deleting :)
Without looking at your database - I suspect that both you and your husband are likely only entered once in the database (probably) - but that there has ended up being 3 marriages for the 2 of you. You need to check if you are listed as having other marriages and if so, say to unlink people from the extra marriages. Now that said, as you deleted your husband, and then reentered him, you probably don't have the 3 marriages anymore, and don't need to do that so go to your husband's parents, select to Add child, then select add an existing person - then select your husband to add to their family. (note that it is always best to make a backup before you do things like merges, or deleting someone, or anything else when you aren't sure what to do to accomplish what you want done.)

Merging (individual by hand) works better G but now you know why we don't recommend merging different records - it becomes a huge pain.
