Often when I see a leaf connected to one of my ancestors in the family tree, I naturally go there to check it out. Now I don't have a steel trap memory, so when it suggests my adding a presumably new source of information, such as a federal census record, to the several people listed in the principal person's family, I generally do it only to find out later that it added some information already attached to that person! Then I have to go back to all those peoples' profiles and most likely have to delete the recently attached record. I really wish that Ancestry could modify their software, so at least it warns me that I have already attached the record before and let me make the decision to attach it or not! Thank you,

The easiest way to do this is not add more than one person at a time and check your list of people before adding anything to anybody.

I keep a different window open to my list of people and can call them up from that window to see if I want to add the info or not- saves loads of tiem in not having to go back and re-do stuff.

Good ideas Thanks, Bruce

Sorry about using the wrong board. I will look at that other one. But given the "solutions" offered me, probably it's best to not repeat my query. Mainly, I was just venting again!
