Well, it was a long time ago and I wanted to give my immediate family (newly arrived grandchildren etc.) low numbers.
I can't delete anyone as the phantoms are not there in person - just their names wrong with the details etc. of the correct person with that RIN. They appear on the Index and the Name List but only if the 'show married names' is on. They all exist in their own right as well, if you see what I mean and I don't want to delete them completely.
