Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Ancestry - Pro Tools - Merging Duplicates
« on: Thursday 18 July 24 15:54 BST (UK) »
Hello all
I'm having a complete brain melt down and would like some advice please...
So I have upgraded to Pro Tools on Ancestry and on the whole I've got my head around it now. That is, with the exception of merging duplicate people. Now in the early days of me doing my tree (and I have no idea how) I seem to have made a tree within a tree if that makes sense. I'll try to explain.
Working my way through the duplicates I have merged two entries for a lady and she now has her husband three times on my main tree. If I click to choose just one of them it shows a different layout of relatives each time. If I have all three clicked to view I see all relatives. They all show as being on my main tree but how the heck do I sort this? I am fearful of deleting any of them as I don't want to lose years of research.... I have attached an image to hopefully show you what I mean.
Many thanks you lovely people in my computer
