Hi Ian, Thank you for our input and your interest in this matter. This past Saturday I deleted the "Copy" and copy2" record from the listing in Family Files successfully. I didn't want to complicate my question so I didn't mention I had this same Family which is the master family in my PC under a different name. I appreciate your input very much. Jack Reynolds.
