Stubborn "Possible Matches" in Helper section
Here is the list. These are in my family
I went through everything possible. No duplicates can be found at all.
- No duplicate spouses
- No duplicate parents
- No duplicate children
- No duplicate child in laws
- No duplicate parents in laws
- No bad merges to undo with any of these above.
Why are they still listed despite the allegations of possible matches when none were found?

Hello William
Did you try running the Merge by ID Tool? If so did you find any corresponding information to qualify those listed in the jpg attachment as duplicates?

I always checked on that as first step for any obvious duplicates. Even the ones that are far apart but otherwise obvious alleged duplicates to check and verify.
Yester there was one new addition, went through everything and discovered one duplicate, not to the primary person her mother-in-law. Checked everything else, and she is still on the list.

I checked my list of duplicates in the Helper section. I had six entries. I checked them all and found only three had possible duplicates listed on the Details page. I dealt with these and, in the process, one of the remaining three dropped off the list leaving only two! My suspicion is that this feature is buggy. But remember that it is only there as an aid and that you can ignore it.
Sorry this is not very helpful!

Piper- there were NO living persons in the "alleged duplicates" I have. You assumed without checking through. Kirsten Sorensdatter born in late 1600s per her husband.
Living persons are NEVER listed in this "alleged duplicates". No one else can see any living persons that are in my lines. I can't see any living persons in others' lines.

@W D Samuelsen - I apologize. I still have the original image. Would you like me to put it back?
