Why are two versions of vital records from Archivio di Stato (Italian civil records) being created?
Since some of the records referenced in my question above have begin being indexed, 2 instances of most of the records are being created - one in all English and one in some Italian/some English - but with identical information included (see attached image). The information populates the person’s profile in the language of the user from what I can tell so it doesn’t seem to matter which record is attached as a source. It seems to be redundant to attach duplicate sources. I’ve been marking the second instance as “Not a Match - This record is a duplicate” but think there could be a more efficient way to streamline the records.
Thank you for your feedback! Dawna

The date when these duplicates were created, 11 Nov 2025, appears in one of your examples.
