Duplicate profiles in a family

I have a family entered incorrectly. The father's name is William and the son is known as Bill. At least that is what I thought. Actually William and Bill are the same person. Is there anyway to combine the two profiles so I don't have to manually enter the Attendance info?

The "father" William record has no attendance, but he is in the system as Individual #1 and the family Integrated Data has the family under William Smith. If I delete him and make the "son" Bill the Individual #1, and manually put in the father's birthday, marriage, etc., will that do anything to that family's data info?

I don't have a birthday, etc. for the "son" Bill, just Attendance info. All other info is under the "father" William.

Thank you,
Myra

In version 11.5, there is a new feature where you can MERGE two personal profiles. It was designed just for this reason. However, there is no such option for versions earlier than 11.5
