I first run the automated version looking for those the Intellishare picks up. Then I take the other automated versions. It is tedious and time consuming. But I like my file to be truthful and close to the "perfect" version. A computer can NEVER replace my knowledge about my family - but it MAY save me some time. And it DOES save me lots of hours. Thinking back on pen and paper days where I had to add the same name On ALL the charts and all the sheets. I love having a computer. No matter how skilled the program is there WILL be names slipping under the programs most refined net. I most often use the Index option of my file before merging. Finding a family name with duplicate first names - THEN I hit the merge button and resolve the problem. After that I make a search for identical first names and see if any slipped my "all seing eye" - usually I find a number of persons. :-) I am glad I do not have to go in and resolve EVERY duplicate person.

Give yourself an "F" for not checking the help files and learning to use the program before you blame it for your own mistakes. Remember, the help files are always your friend. -- Gene Young Researching Young, Harer, Cox & Sallada With Legacy Family Tree http://myyoungs.atspace.com/index.htm Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
