Hi
Following on from the "duplicate citations" discussion, I have a problem with duplicate repository entries. Is there any way to merge them? Regards David

As Repositories is one of the tabs in the records window you can use the method I quoted in the email to Richard on Monday If the tab is not showing then use the tools/preferences/records window to make them visible Regards John Hanson FSG -----Original Message-----

David, John's reply assumes that you need to merge duplicate
Repository records, but I don't think that is your
problem. Your screenshot shows that you have a templated Source
record with multiple Repository fields. I don't know
how that happened, but I think you will just need to delete most
of them, leaving one. Highlight each one in turn and press the
delete key. I don't think you can delete several at once, but
someone else may know if that can be done. On 13/10/2022 17:24, John Hanson via

Unfortunately I seem to be missing something on the merge Regards David On 13/10/2022 17:24, John Hanson via groups.io wrote:

I also wonder how that has happened. Can David enlighten us? The easiest way to delete them is to close FH and open the GEDCOM file in a plain text editor such as Notepad (NOT MS Word). Search for a series of lines that all start with the same 1 REPO @R…@ and delete them.
