Please help me some one. Somehow all the neames in my tree have duplicated 4 times. I must have boo booed when exporting it. I make a back up everytime I finish. How do I find the back up and replace the meesed up one. The tree is on the family seearch program. Julie

If you can export your tree to a programme like family tree maker you can use the merge duplicate individual command. Anne

Hi Girls, Havin fun with this,...Not. Have found how to do the back up and its the same. Have tried match/merge and this ssemed to make things worse. I am now idividually deleting from the pin numbers. Thankfully all duplicates have a sperate no. so starting from the highest and workind down. It will take me awhile but seems to be working. Julie
