What To Do When You Accidentally Add The Same Person To Legacy Twice Published: 13 August 2009 By: Rick Roberts, Biography & Archived Articles One of the questions that I am most frequently asked regarding genealogy software is, "how do I fix it when I accidentally add the same person to my database twice". Last Saturday, while exhibiting at the Irish Genealogy Workshop that was organized by the Toronto Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society, I was asked that question twice. In both cases the questions came from Legacy Family Tree users. When we got home I found the same question in my email inbox from another Legacy user. The solution is very simple. However, many fear that they are the only ones to have accidentally added the same person to our family files twice. Compounding that fear is a concern that they will ruin their family file while trying to fix the duplication problem. Don't feel that you are alone in having entered the same person twice. It happens to everyone... and it will happen again. The problem is easy to fix with the tools that Legacy Family Tree software has built into it. Process for merging duplicate individuals in a Legacy family file:
 When you have finished merging those two instances of the same person into one record, repeat the process with the next people that you have in duplicate. That's all there is to it. GlobalGenealogy.com Canadian Genealogy & History Resources from Global Genealogy:
