Alternative Names and alternative Dates
Good day, I would love an added function where names that differ will automatically become alternative names under "also known as". And dates that differ can be made alternative dates.
E.g. in your example: "also known as" Abraham Lincoln (alternative names can be very helpful in finding matches that would have been missed and are essential in same cases)
"Alt birth" December 1809 (should the person merging which to keep the alt dates on the profile)
One of the things that slow down merging of profiles, is the face that alternative information has to be type into the new profile.

@FAMILYroots4U thank you for your feedback. Your ideas have been reviewed. While we love to speed up (automate) the process where possible, we feel that automating the addition of similar names and dates may create a possibility for a bad merge. So for the time being. The addition of alternate names etc. will be left for the patron to add manually after careful research and consideration. Again, thank you for your input :)
