Ferrie Belle Swift LJ1Y_ZR7 is attached to two families, but she has the same father in both. One has the correct mother and one is without a mother. The ID numbers for Ferrie and her father are the same in both families.

    Hello @cynthialynnfleming1

    In this case, no merge is required. It's a simple matter of 2 connections of the same 2 people. All you have to do is detach the standalone father MCKG-X5X from the standalone daughter LJ1Y-ZR7.
    Click on the pencil (edit) icon, and then use "Remove or Replace."

    Hope this helps.
