    duplicate records

    Ancestor A's wife is the sister of the wife of Ancestor B.
    When I entered A's wife, I also entered her parents.
    When i entered B's wife, I entered her parents a well (same as A's wife's), generating a duplicate record for the parents.

    If I open one or both of the the family files for the parents, I could enter the names of the children, which would include the sisters already entered with their husbands, thus generating duplications of the sisters/wives records, and of their husbands, even more duplicates!

    I have no idea how to deal with this situation. I'd appreciate any advice!

    You should Merge the 2 records. Select one of them, then in the File menu at the top of the screen choose 'Match & Merge People ...'. As you correctly realised, better to do it sooner rather than later.
