Swedish duplicate entries on same page need to be able to be connected to one person instead of leav

MelodyBarber said: A suggestion for the Swedish records: Often times, people would move out from a parish and then move back, in which case a new entry with their name and birthdate would be created on that page. When it was indexed, both entries are indexed, but the system only allows us to attach one of the entries to the person, leaving the other one just floating there. It doesn't make sense to create another record for the same person, and hopefully, people won't come along and think the person was missed and create a duplicate record. Here is an example: https://www.familysearch.org/search/l...

Maybe you could make it so that the duplicate entry could be attached to the same person. If not, is there anything we can do with these floating entries? Thank you.

Gordon Collett said: Most complex source attachment situations can be handled using the often overlooked Change link to adjust the Focus Person.

1) From the source linker as you show it:



2) Move Anna Mathilda in Family Tree, that is, the one on the right hand side, to be the Focus Person:





3) Next, and you do have to do this in this order, move the unattached source for her, the one on the left hand side, to the Focus Person position:





4) And attach as usual:





The appearance of the black warning triangle against the other source for her now is just a warning sign that that source is attached to someone that is not directly across from it which is fine because it is still attached correctly.

For now, I do what Gordon Collett described in his reply as well.
