My relative on my Dad's side said Duplicate. I looked at the merge on the left and on the right some details matched, some did not and so I put "not a match". Now I am having second thoughts and would like to relook at the two names. I don't know how to do this. Any recommendations?

Many thanks for your help, Pam Jesperson
