Merging records

HVJ64

There ought to be a "merge" tab on each record. If you recognize there are two different names, or the same name but is the same person, why not have a tab at the top that you can click on the link which will bring up the current person, and then ask you for the other person's ID number to merge. I've run across several records which are duplicates which shows married to the same person, but they are duplicates.

Under "Tools" there is a function called "Merge By ID" that does that.

@HVJ64 by "record" do you mean a profile in Family Tree, or do you mean source (historical record)?

Where do I find "tools" for merge 2 duplicate persons?

@Hunt Cynthia2, the Merge By ID tool is in the Tools box at the bottom of the right-hand column of a profile's Details page.
