    If you are certain the two profiles represent the same person, then the process is to merge the two profiles, rather than deleting one of them.
    Merging preserves all sources attached to each of the suspected duplicates.

    This Help Article should give you the information you need. If you have any question or problems, come back and someone will be glad to help.

    Good luck!

    Or do you mean that you see the person twice with the same ID number? You will see this when the person has multiple couple or multiple parent-child relationships. If you post the ID of the person you are seeing this on, exactly what you are seeing can be explained.
