Merging Individuals In Your GeneaNet Online Family Tree

Posted by admin on Nov 23, 2009

You may create some duplicate entries when uploading a GEDCOM file or manually entering a lot of data in your GeneaNet Online Family Tree.

You can automatically merge these duplicates and all of their information into a single individual.

For example, two entries have been created for the same person: John Doe.

The first entry contains information about the birth of John Doe: born on 22th december, 1910 in London, England.

The second entry contains information about the death of John Doe: deceased on 15th april, 1950 in New-York, USA.

Log in to your family tree as “Wizard”, select a John Doe then click “Update – Individual, family, media”.

Then click “Merge”.

The software automatically finds individuals that match but with some different available information.

Select “John Doe” then click “Ok”.

The two entries are automatically merged into a single one that contains all of the information about John Doe.

When I go to “Edit > Merge with …”, I get a Search for Individual field, asking for “Search a duplicate individual: first name . number last name (enter: first name . number last name)”. I already found the duplicate in someone elses family tree, but apparently I don’t succeed to connect my tree to his.


Wishing to delete a double entry, after 2 days of trying, even as Premium member, I cannot find Wizard or Admin Access. Having tried to merge and tried every entry combination I can think of, all I get is “Error”. Please help. Thanks

Answer from Geneanet: Please post your question in the forum and tell which persons have to be merged. I’ll do it for you.
