How would you be able to 'tell' Legacy which person of the potential duplicates you want to keep/merge?
The best way I know (and use often) to resolve duplicates is the "merge duplicates" function in Legacy. It shows me potential duplicates in sets of 2 individualss and I can research them, then indicate that they ARE duplicates, so they're merged, or NOT duplicates and I can mark them so it doesn't ask again about that set of 2. And you're correct, 2500+ potential duplicates is a daunting task!
