Any thoughts as to what to do about this one - my g grandfathers second wife was the half sister of his deceased first wife. Should I merge the two entries I seem to have made for the second wife?

I can't see how it will ever be wrong to merge the records for two or more people into one if you are sure they are for the same individual

If you use Tribalpages, when you add a new person, such has a wife/husband, it asks whether that person already exists on the tree, if so it will make the necessary adjustments.

Yes I know, but murder is also illegal and that keeps happening too!
