I have followed the instructions for merging two people within a database, but I always end up with no one in the left hand side to merge with my chosen person, even though they have the same name. I must have missed something.

The two people to be merged MUST have the same birth year. An approximate birth year will do by entering, say, " abt 1920"
- Please upgrade to V2.422 so you can use the new features in Merge Two People.
- Make the person who is the Target of the Merge the Focal Person in the Context Diagram.
- Select menu option Merge and Compare - Merge Two People in the Current Database.
- On the LH side select the person from whom you want to merge data into the Focal Person.
- Press the appropriate Merge buttons in the centre of the dialog.
- If you no longer need the person on the LH side then press the Delete button.
- If you need more explanation then press the Help button at the top of the dialog.
