James Leif Brandin said: when merging, it would be helpful if the info could be edited right there. For example, one side might have a complete date, while the other might have a complete location. Which one should I select? Either way, I have to go back and edit.

    That might be a little more time-consuming, but not altogether a bad thing.

    These changes are best made on the Person pages, so it makes me very disappointed to find an UNDO option in the merge process. This means inexperienced (or lazy) users can push back duplicates of spouses and children instead of forcing them to consider carrying out merges for the whole family.
