Hi June, That's it. You just link in the one person and they're all linked in.
This is the advantage of using just one file for all your research. When you find a link, you don't have to merge files. Sometimes you will find you have duplicates in the one file. Then you do a manual merge of the two people you've decided are the same person. A much easier task than merging two whole files. When I started on a particular line many years ago, I had a heap of paper from various people. A quick glance suggested they were all the same. It was only by entering the data one piece of paper at a time that I discovered that there were lots of little differences and some big ones. Then I had to find other information to resolve the differences. But if I'd kept just staring at the paper I doubt I would have picked up the little differences though I guess the big ones would have dawned on me eventually.
