Reason This Merge is Correct
Duplicate individual.
REMINDER!!
Review other family members
for possible duplicates.
Thoughts on Merging Duplicates
• Can see there are duplicates but don’t
display when requested – Merge by I.D. number
• Family Tree will not allow a merge of
duplicates – Get Help > Send a message
• Can only merge if records are switched – Switch the records and merge
