    Ok, we (my living close relatives and me) are multiplicated several times in our "privíte tree". It is easy to see but its weakness based on the FS coding root…
    Now we have a family group involved the living family members but none of us connected to each others as relatives.
    What is the goal this new feature more than having one more ID? 🤐

    Let me paste the part of the merging guidance: 🙃

    • You cannot merge duplicates if one is in your private tree and the other is in a family group tree.
    • You cannot merge duplicates if one is in your private tree and the other is in another user's private tree.
    • You cannot merge duplicates if one is in your private tree and the other is in the public tree.
    • You cannot merge duplicates if one is in a family group tree and the other is in the public tree.
    • You cannot merge duplicates if they are in different family group trees.

    This is a great way to strengthen extended families. We recently created a group for all of my father's descendants and their spouses, a total of 103 people, 98 of whom are living. But I feel like I am not using this tool to its full potential. I would like to hear how other people are using it.
