While viewing a church document in 'Source Linker' I encountered no less than half a dozen duplicate persons in a single document. It would be helpful to have an easily accessible way to report or merge within the Source Linker.

I attempted to upload screen shots but it wouldn't work.

This is the link to the document that says my great grandparents had 20 children

    @SusanHansford2 Thank you for submitting your idea for improving the Source Linker. This has been submitted to the proper Project Manager.

    While the source itself you are referring to does not mention any children, I can see where so many children are duplicated in his DETAILS page. You will need to address a merge of the duplicates one at a time to verify they are duplicates and make sure the sources on each merge correctly. I know this is a time consuming task, but I prefer to take my time when merging so I can make sure everything is in order. Good luck.

    Maile 🙂
