The same source comes up several times in Research Help on the Details page for my relative. Do I just delete the duplicates?

    The above link to answer your question was found by going to the circle with the question mark in the upper right corner. Then you can as your question about duplicate record hints or you can click on Help Center and ask your question there.

    Look at the URL of each record hint. Each one should have a different URL.

    • If the apparent duplicate has a unique URL but is not about the person, dismiss it.
    • If the apparent duplicate has a unique URL and is about the person, review it and attach as usual. Be aware that when you dismiss apparent duplicates, it can prevent the hinting system from finding record hints for the person in the future.
    • If the apparent duplicate has the same URL as another record hint, please contact FamilySearch Support .
