SimonShaw 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2006 Yes, I know this should be very basic, but for the life of me I can not work out how to do it. I have just put some details in for a census for a Rachel Joyce and when I had finished I noticed I already had an R. Joyce as a witness for another event that it turns out is the same person. So I wanted to get rif of the original record. I added the new one in as a witness to the event in question (and removed the old one). The old name I know wish to remove as it is not connected to any other record and is indeed a duplicate name. But the delete button for the person is disabled. Why is this, it has 0 tags associated with it. Surely deleting a person is possible? I know. I am missing something aren't I. Simon ok - I can be a bit slow sometimes. I was expecting to see it in the right click menu, but the delete option is under the edit menu. Kind of obvious now... As homer once said. DOH! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
