Hi Brenda,
You may not have been following the discussion I've had.
I have been doing exactly as you suggest.
The problem is that it links people twice.
Thanks,
Jack Lane

Jack,
I would say the best way is to only enter a person into the database
ONCE and then use "link to existing person" when you need to put them
into a relationship. The only time you should need to merge is if you
didn't realize that you already had a person in your database, and you
entered them again for a different relationship.
I guess I don't know what you mean by "persons having more than one
relationship". A person can really only be a child, spouse, or
parent. The rest happen by default.
Hope this helps a bit?
Regards,
Brenda
