    Yes, if you are sure that it truly is a duplicate, merge the two

    The best way is to click the pencil Icon by the name of the person in the Vitals of the person page (see image below) and change the name there. Research may be needed to find the names of the unknown people.

    There seems to be a duplicate so do I just combine them?
