Merge Duplicate Individuals In Your GeneaNet Family Tree

Posted by admin on Jan 20, 2013

When merging a GEDCOM file to your GeneaNet family tree, you may generate duplicate individuals.

You can easily merge these individuals without losing any events, family links, pictures and archival records.

As usual, we suggest that you make a backup (export a GEDCOM file) before merging individuals.

Go to the page of one of the individuals to be merged, then click ‘Individual > Edit’ in the drop-down list at the top right of the screen.

Click ‘Individual > Edit’ in the drop-down list at the top right of the screen.

Then, click the ‘Merge’ link.

And select the other individual to be merged in the list or enter its full name, then click ‘OK’.

and what do I do when I get a different name to merge first, and then get into a loop of names that has to be merge first …and this happens again and again…and again ????

Answer from Geneanet: The easiest way to do it is to delete one of the duplicates then correctly link the other one to the family tree.
