Brian,
I think I have got you now! Are you saying that if you have duplicate families, both with an unknown-unknown set of parents, then after using intellimerge one would have two sets of unknown-unknown parents?

The scenario I used though was a wife where the surname was unknown but where there was a known sibling whose surname was also unknown. In order to link the two siblings there MUST be a set of parents so in this case the parents were both unknown (or non-existent in the database as a distinctive RIN). There is a marriage created with an MRIN. Brian Customer Support Millennia Corporation [email protected] http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com We are changing the world of genealogy!
