Technical question: Merging persons with the same ID number.

Technical question: Merging persons with the same ID number.

Technical question: This person L1B6-DZW on my family tree shows twice. Once with her husband and another time as an "add spouse". They are the same person. How can I merge them. I have come across the problem several time so if I could learn how to fix it that would be helpful for future events.

Actually, you won't be merging them. The problem is that her daughter, Ragina Godbout L1BB-CZH shows up with two relationships to her mother. If you click on the edit button (the pencil and paper image) next to the Ragina with only the mother, you can delete the relationship between them. That will make Rosetta show up with only one spouse relationship...to her husband, Joseph Godbout.

whenever you see the same ID

there is no need to merge - it is the same person/database record.

you just need to correct the relationships.

Thank you! After merging records and making corrections I managed to get the same mother on her own with all the children repeated. I followed your advice and everything is as it should be now 😁
