I am trying to use Family Search for first time. I logged in via web browser on Family Search to make my ID/PW. I then created a person (for me - that's where web wants me to start.) But when I logged in via Legacy (using the same ID/PW) and tried to upload myself - it did not offer to match it to what was on FamilySearch. It just made a brand new person on Family Search.
So now there are 2 of me, with different family search record numbers. How do I clean this up? I asked Family Search - they said to ask legacy since Legacy software did the upload. I even asked Family Search if they could just delete all of my entries and let me start from scratch - but they said to check w Legacy first. 1) How do I delete the 6 entries I uploaded via Legacy (me, wife, 2 kids, and my parents)? And then how do I re-do the initial upload but tell it that "I am me" (that is, so when it does the upload of my info to the web, it uploads it to the ID that exists on the web). OR 2) How to I merge the two different "me"s on the web? Do I need to add enough on a tree branch so a dead person is on Family Search via each system (legacy upload and direct key-in via web) so it will do a search on the dead person and offer a match? If I do that, will it then offer to also merge the living people?
