I have one person with 15 different names! Sometimes it happens as a result of transcription errors, sometimes from accent differences and often, of course, for married women. Giving all of the name references is key to having others check our work.<br /><br />As you may recall from past correspondence between us, there can be problems with merging individuals with multiple names in Family Tree Maker. Some of the names in the file being merged in can disappear. FTM people aware of it. My advice to others until they fix it is "just be careful".<br />Regards<br />Paul<br />www.howesfamilies.comPaul Howeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201082122244897421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7431320127509797635.post-69584873971013865442012-08-24T10:02:24.634-04:002012-08-24T10:02:24.634-04:00Magda,
