Am not sure how this exactly happened, but I have ancestors with double entries. I encoded names of ancestors given by my relatives, but in the process of finding sources which I think are related to my ancestors and attaching the records to their names, somehow double entries of their names were created. How can I remove the original names I created and then retain the names with the sources? Thanks for your help.

    @ArnieTrinidad Good morning Arnie. When we have double entries we can merge or combine the names using the ID, you can keep the names with the sources without problem. This link will help you to do it step by step, Keep on searching your ancestors and filling your tree. Regards Graziela
