Thank you, I thought maybe perhaps this was a little more modern, I’m used to the old days where if everything were exact it would/ Could pass directly into intellimerge, or intellipass, if not, it came back for more options, as this is now, without modification, it seems kinda silly to have just to pop up and get in the way.
But Thanx for trying.

See Options Ribbon - QuickDup Options. The full Merge options are more extensive.

If the merge were initiated from Merge - Manual Merge it is usually followed by suggestions of others that probably also need to be merged - though it does depend on your merge criteria. There are of course default criteria but you can adjust them. I'm not altogether surprised that it isn't doing this when merging from the duplicate dialogue that pops up when you're entering a new person as I would expect the merged person to inherit all the relationships of the person you merged into and that's my limited experience. I rarely add a duplicate and when I do, I usually back out of that dialogue to do a wider check before using the Manual Merge. I don't think any of the merge criteria includes the marriage status of the person. Cathy Gene Hutson wrote: And as a further to earlier, it does not go far enough into the merge process by taking into account whether he/she was single and never married, you can check the “never married” box and it will still ask about duplicates, nor does it take into account death dates.

And further, any notes that I have in both memorials are not merged. I have given up on merging and do it all manually and then deleting one of the memorials. It is really frustrating to have to do it this way....

In the case just now, it asked “is this the same person?” I verify all info is correct, it merges and then the person you were working with is now a ½ child to one of the parents, makes it look as if the mother in this case had an unknown marriage and now this child is the product of the mother and the unknown father, whereas she should have been connected to both parents. Hoping t his is clear and concise enough to understand.
