Deb
Mergin two persons gives you the oportunity to add what information from  
the person you want to merge into another.

1. Events, notes etc may be move from the "right" person over to the left  
"main" person

2. In the general view you get a list of informations that differs between  
the two persons.
   For instance different names. If clicking to the blue square ribbon to  
the left you get a choise - copy to AKA or
   to notes.
   With Different birth date and place you have the choise to add to  
alternate events (alt. birt, alt birth location)d
3. Have done this you may if familiar with th informations merge, or if  
not cansel.
4. Done the merge it's either finished or you get a message that there are  
sorounding persons who needs to be merged. Do that as
   above.
5. Search the the merged file, if Ok leave as it is. If not undo the  
merge.(THat means that you undo all merges done in that        session)
9. Choose birth name as main name in AKA (Switch), if not another is  
wanted of research purpose.

Remember that you may  have full controll of the merge process.

You could use the AKA feature - what I have done in a similar situation  
is
to create the record for the person under the name by which they were  
mainly
known, even if it is different to the birth name.  Then add an AKA with  
the
other name.  I also added an Event that explained the reason for and the
date of the change.  You could also make a note of the reason etc. in  
Birth
notes.  Info only has to be entered once, and you only have one record  
for
the person.  Re-entering the information under the second name will  
create
two distinct people.

Cheers

Subject: [LegacyUG] Merging One Family Name With Another:

Hello :-)
This topic may have been brought up before, but I don't remember seeing
it.  I have information on my grandfather that I have entered
under one family name (Taylor) that I also need to enter under his  
family
name (Hicks).  Is there any way I can merge his information
without re-entering it all again...or to avoid messing everything up -
should I just re-enter his information under his name...and avoid
any possible problems...??
Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)
