You just have to buckle up and do the Merge/Unlink like we all do. No easy answer. Sorry, Rich in LA CA
________________________________ From: RUNION ROBERT <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, April 7, 2012 2:50 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] Duplicate Problem I received a GEDCOM file that I would like to add to my files (to a backup copy just as a safeguard). In importing the GEDCOM of approximately 2000+ names, I have discovered duplication of about half of the persons imported. Is there a recommended way to eliminate the duplications? I tried the duplication process and it appears that I have to address each pair separately. This creates a problem when looking at the names and data as to which one is the accurate one or even if it is a duplication. Suggestions?
