    I am very new to this I do have a question. When you are dealing with a merge and a yellow marker comes up and states that the person already belongs to another family but both have the same name. So they cannot merge because of the yellow marker. Hope I have made some sense. Thank you Susan

    @BlottSusanWilhelmina1, posting the PID (Person I D) numbers or a screen shot of the issue would be very helpful.

    Yes, please post a specific example of where you are seeing this. I have not run across it before and have to wonder if this is a new feature to try to prevent incorrect merges of people with the same name, which doesn't give any evidence they are the same person, who have different parents, which could easily mean they are not the same person.
