Sonya, you might be able to produce a report of duplicates, to enable you to choose the ones to delete or merge. |

Oh dear, I've got myself in a right old pickle. When I merged the duplicate entries, it looked as if they had become detached from their relatives, so I re-attached them............. and now I have heaven only knows how many sets of duplicates! I can't make head nor tail of it. |

I don't know if it is the same on FTM 2009 but I have FTM 2006 and there is 'drop down' at the top under PEOPLE that has all sorts of ways of adding, fixing and merging relationships, |

Not sure if this will help Sonya, worth a try. |

You can't merge lines, only individuals. I don't have 2009 installed just yet, as yet but on the earlier versions of FTM you select People then Merge specific individuals. do this for each name that is duplicated. |

I have the same - my grandparents! I just didn't follow the line for one of them. But I like to keep things simple. |

I am using FTM 2009 and have run into a problem with a marriage between first cousins. I added a spouse with the same surname, which didn't surprise me because it is a common name in the area. However, I then ended up with a duplicate set of names, and soon realised that the happy couple were in fact first cousins, sharing the same pedigree with common aunts and uncles and the same grandfather. |
