Re: [LegacyUG] Finding Dups
Michele, Read the Help Topic Merge Options to see the comparison criteria Legacy uses. You will see that Legacy does not consider marriages (dates nor spouse names) in comparing two people. We are happy to consider suggestions for new features. In Legacy 6.0 and 7.0 you can suggest a new feature by clicking on the link on the Legacy Home Tab Support Section Other users can make a suggestion here: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Suggest.asp Use the drop down list in the first box to select a category, Legacy 7 or Legacy Charting.

Re: [LegacyUG] Finding Dups
Michelle, I just submitted a suggestion about this comparison problem and used your example. I have likewise had many possible duplicates presented by the program which can not possibly be the same person. The basic principle is that for two individuals to be considered the same person, they should at least have lived during the same time frame. Hope the programmers might tweak this logic and provide a life-span must intersect option.

RE: [LegacyUG] Finding Dups
That is what is displayed when I run a find dups. On the left side it shows David Johnson with a birth date of 1962, on the right side it shows the other David Johnson who has a marriage date of 1815. Needless to say I marked them as not duplicates but that should have been figured out by the computer.

Re: [LegacyUG] Finding Dups
Michele, I tend to agree with you. I came to the conclusion, rightly or wrongly, that Legacy does not compare vital dates, so I no longer use it, preferring GenMatch or GenViewer (usually the former).

RE: [LegacyUG] Finding Dups
Michele, This could be the preverbal double edged sword. If the program eliminates this as a dup and one of the dates is in error, then you would not see the error. I think I would rather choose to call it a dup instead of having the computer determine that it isn't.
