Quite a few SA users has been contacting me regarding this tool.
The main problem is that they say users making use of this tool does not always follow through on the merges and the extra work are all left for one or two to do.
Over the past week in my tree's as well I have been spending all my time and energy just working through merge issues after a SmartCopy merge.
The info in the matches will be for example..
Block one - MP - all information as well as Death notices in sources.
Block two - After merge using this wonderful tool - Only a new manager, birth surname/ ore date/or name.
I value the input but do think that we should be more aware of the fact that we should be
1. Making sure that we are not duplicating.
2. Follow through on each profile.
The past week I have not done the research that are overflowing on my desk due to a lack of time - because of fixing duplicates.
Users complaining and saying that there is now two profiles of the same person.
The main problem is that it is usually just one household but then there are different parents (own/step) and up to 15 children.
That makes for mega merges to fix.
LOL☺
Hope the English came out correctly from this Afrikaans tongue.
What is the solution - please help.
I want to add not fix all day. I feel we are losing valueble input.
Regards and happy building.
