    Dealing with Duplicates and Possible Duplicates

    Always compare the information with your records first

    If there is some information you do not have write it down then add it to your work

    Then it comes under your signature not everyone around the globe

    Plus you can verify the information before adding it to your work

    When satisfied decline the merge

    Do let modern techknowledge rule our Family Tree
