Hi Lynne,
What about doing a record overlay? This should keep the order and checkin history intact. We are an Aleph library so this is what I would do.

Subject: [SERIALST] MARC record question
I need some feedback on how others handle this situation. We have serial holdings on a MARC record I’ll call Record A in our local system. At some point after we imported that record from OCLC, they (OCLC) merged that record into what
I’ll call Record B. My choices now are: 1) keep our holdings on Record A in our system, not bothering with Record B at all, or 2) import Record B into our ILS, relink the items to that record, and delete Record A. Choice 2 is technically correct; choice
1 is easier and maintains info like checkin history.
What do the rest of you do? I’m in a big cleanup project, making sure our ILS and OCLC records and holdings correspond, and I’m running into a few of these.
