Avoiding Duplicates When Entering Data

[bill gulledge]

Assume ancestor John, 10 generations back, with 2 daughters D1 and D2.
I entered my data into Reunion - for me, my parents, my grandparents, etc. As I researched my line and discovered more ancestors, I entered their data into Reunion. Eventually, my line passed through D1. I entered data for D1 and entered her father as "John."
Later, I was researching another of my lines and entering data into Reunion as I discovered new ancestors along this 2nd line. Eventually this line passed through D2. I entered data for D2 and started to enter her father as "John."
Question: Do I need to tell Reunion that :John" the father of D1 is the same person as "John" the father of D2 and if so, how do I do this? Otherwise, Reunion will show 2 people in the index, both named "John" and each will have his own "tree" of ancestors in Reunion.

Display D2's family card in the main work area. Put the right column into People mode and scroll down the the father's listing. Drag father's name into the father box on D2's family card. Done!
