You are given the option to copy
sources events etc from the right hand person into the left hand
person and not losing any of it. Review the help file entry on
merging. It has a wealth of information and knowledge.

I get the part about selecting the "dot" with the given name for example vs the given name & middle initial but if I have parents for example or story on one side I'm not sure I'm getting the parents or the story too. I have used the feature to switch right & left and sometimes I get the person with less info. I learned the hard way so now just in case I mess up I make a PDF so I can go back and fill in the info I didn't carry over.

Use Tools / Merge Duplicates / Merge with the first one selected, it will be the left hand. Then use Select Right to get the other one.
Check all of the data and then use Merge Right Individual into Left Individual.

I have identified obvious duplicates but when I run “duplicates” in the Search they are not identified. How do I merge them. The have the dates, names, spouses all match. I would prefer to merge than delete.
