Check the {{man label|Private record}} icon in the top right corner to mark this name record as private. This will give you a chance to omit this name from being included in reports, if you choose so among the report generation options.
Specifically, all names from the other record will become alternate names of the merged record. Similarly, parents, spouses, and children of the other record will become alternate parents, spouses, and children of the merged record, and so on.
===Merge Families===
When exactly two families are selected, choose '''Edit ->Merge...''' to invoke {{man label|Merge Families}} dialog.
The dialog allows you to make a decision on whether or not the selected records should be merged. If you decide that the records should not be merged, despite being similar titles, you may click {{man button|Cancel}} to close the dialog without making any changes.
If you decide to proceed with merging, choose the appropriate {{-man button|Select}}radio button(s) to specify the source(s) of the primary data to be used for the merged family record, and then click {{man button|OK}} . The children from both marriages are merged into the new family. The two fathers are merged together and the events from the secondary father are attached to the primary father. The names from the secondary father become alternate names for the primary father. The same occurs to the two mothers. The events related to the secondary family (e.g. marriage and any divorce) are transferred to the primary family. The secondary family, and the person record for the secondary father and mother are deleted from the database.
