Hi Folks,
Since importing my data from TMG a few years ago, I come across the occasional individual who appears twice in the focus window.  Once with a spouse with or without offspring, then again underneath on their own.
I would like to delete the second iteration without upsetting things.  Would someone have any ideas please?

Even more concerning is Mary AYTON was only about 10 when Richard RIVETT was born and not much older for the other children!

 

Assuming they are all meant to be one family then it is a Family Record problem that needs Robert RIVETT to be unlinked and relinked to the original family.

I’d be a little concerned as well, that William Rivett was married aged 10 and had had three children before he was 15 years old and a fourth by his 18^th birthday.

I have come across someone elses tree which listed my 14 x great grandfather, aged 38, marrying a 10 year old gilr in 1765. She had a child when she was 11. I have not had time to verify this but my own thought are the other person made a typo error and put her birth date 10 years out making her 20. She went on to have 3 children. She became a widow aged 26 (or should tgis have been 36?) One day I will get round to verifying this

Louis I’ve had this quite a few times and what I do is unlink the bottom Person and if it’s a couple duplicated unlink both. You’ll still have the single entry for the person.

Hi

Thank you for your suggestion, however it does not quite address my situation.  See below for what I meant.

All duplicates have the same I.D.

Have you also relinked the child of the person you’ve unlinked?
