If Legacy does not recognize your edited Master Sources as duplicates you will have to manually combine the multiple sources.
Go to View > Master Lists > Sources Highlight all the duplicate SSDI sources, do not highlight the source you want to keep With all the duplicates highlighted click on the Combine highlighted source ... button in the bottom of the screen The label will change to Highlight destination source, then click this button. Highlight the source you did not select earlier and click the button. If all the SSDI sources use the same SourceWriter template they will be combined. If they use different templates you cannot combine them and Legacy will offer to add the template ID column to the list so you can see what template each master source used. You will be able to combine all the SSDI sources that use the same template but you will have to manually add the Master SSDI source to those who use an SSDI source with another template then remove the old SSDI source from them.
