Tony Vella...
Is this the right group to ask questions about Family Tree Maker? I
apologize in advance if it isn't and would appreciate a hint as to where
I should ask my questions.

I have just been given FTM 9.0 and as a learning exercise I am working
on the trees in Homer's Iliad - as good a place as any to start.

I have found two cousins (the fathers are brothers) who are married and
have one son. The software insists on listing the two individuals twice
each. When I select "merge duplicate individuals" I am told that there
are no duplicate individuals.

Lesley Robertson...
Merge them individually. The automatic merge only works with identical
entries.

Can anyone give me a hint how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

Hugh Watkins...
ignore it

it sounds lie a structure problem in trees

This is not really a problem. It is a fact of life. If cousins marry,
they and their descendants will be shown (correctly) more than once
in trees.
