Gender isn't always rightly assigned. I have an ancestor Francis Guppy.
I would want to consider whether a Frances Guppy may be the same person
even if one was marked male and one female.
abt 1860 isn't an exact date.
it's best to use default settings in merge until you understand them
better and then vary them as you like.
It's all to do with how careful you want to be.

Still having problems. These are some of the comments I am getting:
*merging: left is different sex to right - these are two totally
different people so why were they brought up to be merged ?
* missing birth/christening dates or dates are not exact - both had -
Abt 1860 so why did they come up to be merged ?
* does one select all the settings in the " Normal Duplicate Search "
page.

Hi Valerie,
1. The number of 'duplicates' has increased, because those merges
you've done have enabled Legacy to see more people who might be
duplicates, and have added them to the list for you to consider.
3. The total number of people has decreased (2594 + 2540 = 5134)
because you have made some merges already.
Hope this helps. :-)

1. I have created a new file and imported 2594 people and then
imported another 2540 from another file and started the merge process.
I used all the settings as suggested. Now I have started the merge and
as I say " merge right into left " the number of merges still to be
done have gone from 69 dulicates to 479. WHY ??
2. Also I can see that one of the problems is age at death so I want
to not use this criteria anymore but I cannot get back into the
beginning settings to delete this age at death problem
3. I now have 4945 people
