Jane,

You can restore your backup(s) to a new name and recover notes if necessary. 
Though that requires you remember who.
Just check that the notes aren't there in the merged person.
I'm not exactly sure when and how this bug operates - I just know to beware. I 
don't do much merging.

Jane,

As Jay says, there is currently a bug when you do that.
You can use the Edit button and safely make changes to the Notes there 
but not by replacing or appending as I understand the current bug.

Check for duplicates frequent ly. Set birth age range wide. If you have
duplicate entries over hours and years of work, you should find them.
Then you can merge the records and connect them as required with
the merged
info.

Currently, if you have notes to merge from two different records,
you must
copy the notes for each person to notepad or some other program,
do your
editing, finish the merge, then modify the notes using the saved
Notepad
file. If you try to append notes from one record to another during the
merge, they will be lost.

Cindy,

You could...but you could also put in just surnames up to where you think
the family comes together.  You can always change it later.

Re: [LegacyUG] Howto enter a name that may be part of the family

[Cindy Curry via LegacyUserGroup]

The original message to the list is in the attachment.

This action is required because of the DMARC Reject/Quarantine Policy
imposed by some email providers. Users who want to send messages
without conversion to attachments should use a different email address
for their subscription.

Known providers for free email accounts whose emails do not require
this conversion include gmail.com and hotmail.com.  Many other email
providers will also work but you will have to give them a try.--- Begin Message ---
 Would you do this with a cousin where you don't yet know the cousin's 
parents?I.E. My ancestor immigrated to Wisconsin in 1856 and joined his 
cousin.Cindy

You can have as many "islands" as you need. You can see what they are at View - 
Trees. Note you must click the Refresh button to see the latest situation. It's 
not automatic as with a large tree, it takes time and if you're working through

Yes, add them as an island. See the Add Ribbon bar - Add unlinked person.
You can have as many "islands" as you need. You can see what they are at 
View - Trees. Note you must click the Refresh button to see the latest 
situation. It's not automatic as with a large tree, it takes time and if
