Merging Children -- mismatched lists


We need to  select  Princess Anne for this example,  (Note that if you skipped the earlier step to mark Princess Anne as Matched, she will be found in the Unmatched list, and will need to be matched at this time using the Matching window.)  To merge Princess Anne (assuming she IS matched)  open the People Progress Window, go to Matched people and down toward the bottom of the list find /Windsor/ Princess Anne:


Open the Three-pane Merge Window on Anne by clicking on the "Merge in Merge Editor" button, and you will see:


If you  click on the "Find Unresolved Difference" button, JPrise Gedcom Merge will look through the pages until it finds that there are differences on the My Spouses and Children page:



Again, the children show up as red-highlighted issues needing resolution.  To show that we can give the user explicit control over adding a new individual, we will now insert an empty person before Peter and mere Zara into that empty location.  To create the empty, right-click over Peter and select Insert Empty. 

The result will be:


Now we can push Zara to the center by selecting her, and the result will be:


This is the result we want -- both children in the output file's family.  To get rid of the red indicators of attention needed, we can check the checkboxes by Zara and Peter to indicate that we consider this done.  The result looks like:



In the Three-pane Merge Window, when you press Find Unresolved Difference, no differences will be found and you can then mark Princess Anne ... as done.

We will now go on to explore merging information other than individuals.
