Split Person From Family (Merge)
In certain cases, you will need to move a person out of one family and into a new family.
Examples:
- A 'child' gets married
- A 'child' moves out of the family home into their own apartment or house
- The heads of the household get divorced
How to:
- Find a member of the family
- Click on the Family Members link (above the list of family members) (see screen shots below)
- Click the Split link beside the name of the person you want to move out of that family
- Answer OK to the prompt 'Are you sure you want to remove member and create a new family? Clicking OK will take you to the new family'
- Click Edit and make changes to the person's Family Position if necessary (If you have moved a child from a family, change the position to Head)
- Click Update
- Click on the person's name in the family list
- Make the necessary changes to their record: address, phone #, etc.
NOTE: At this point, you can follow the instructions to Add Family Members if you need to move other family members into this new family.
