Check for Duplicate People?

Recommended Posts

Trying to merge a lot of duplicated people. I know that this normally is easy (at least in the past, but I haven't done this in 7.0 until now). Here's a sample of people in the Project Explorer:

 

Vernon Charles BLATCHLEY (7369) (1851-1925)

Vernon Charles BLATCHLEY (7370) (1851-1925)

Vernon Charles BLATCHLEY (7375) (1851-1925)

Vernon Charles BLATCHLEY (14324) (1851-1925)

 

I've tried the following configurations and can't get the result screen to bring all of these people up as duplicates to #7369:

 

Summary: default

Surnames: have same soundex or have identical spelling

Given: have same soundex or have identical spelling and with and without Evaluate first name only checked

Birth Dates: are not evaluated

Death Dates: are not evaluated

Parents' GivenDates: are not evaluated

Filters: Start with This Person: 7369

 

The best that I've gotten is another "Vernon B. Blatchley". What am I missing here?

I am not sure either, but if you just want to merge them you can just select them by ID number. Go to MERGE and put in the ID numbers of the one you want to keep and the one you want to get rid of.

 

I haven't ever used the duplicate person screen very much so maybe someone who has will hope on board.
