Are you referring to "Duplicate" versions of the SAME individual/person, you Father?

.

Are you NEW to "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch"?

.

We do not have our OWN "Tree" in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

.

We ONLY have "Branches", that are interconnected, in this SINGLE "One" World "Tree", for all of us, that is "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

.

"Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" is NOT like "Ancestry.com" or the like.

.

We DO NOT have "Private"/"Personal" 'Trees' in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch", like other "Web" Sites; and/or, 'standalone' personal programmes.

.

We do not even, own; or, manage; and, are NOT even responsible for, the "Deceased" individuals/person in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

.

"Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" is built on a "Open Edit" Platform - hence, why any registered User/Patron can "Edit" (ie. Add, Delete; and/or, Change) ANY "Deceased" individual/person in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

.

You can certainly "Merge"/"Combine" any "Deceased" individual/person in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" with another "Deceased" individual/person in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch", regardless of who the User/Patron was that initially created those "Deceased" individuals/persons; as, they DO NOT reside with the User/Patron who initially created them - they are "Public".

.

If fact, you can ONLY see "Deceased" individual/person in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch"; except, with this 'rider', that you can ALSO only see "Living" individual/person in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" that YOU created; as, they reside in your "Private Spaces".

.

No other User/Patron can see ANY "Living" individuals/persons that were created by another User/Patron; as, they ONLY reside in the "Private Spaces" of the User/Patron who created them.

.

If your Father is "Deceased"; and, there are "Duplicate" versions of him in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch", you can certainly "Merge"/"Combine" them into just one, yourself.

.

Here is a good place to start, with how things work in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" (and, other programmes as well):
