New Person Profile Merge Process

The new UX for the person profile merge process gets a thumbs down from me. It is less clear which facts are being added to the resulting profile (I guess that means I am missing the "high contrast" for differences in the resulting record). The screen is cluttered. I am already confident that the profiles should be merged when I start the process. Thanks to FS's wisdom in creating new profiles for every census record back in the day, there are still quite a lot of duplicate profiles out there. In the new process I find myself simply scrolling to the end of the page to click the merge button rather than reviewing the cluttered screen. The fact that the birth year is off by one or two years in census records is not that alarming and being told that the dob's in the records are more than 365 days apart is not really that helpful. What would be helpful would be an option to merge "families" so we would not have to repeat the merge process for every individual.
