TIP OF THE DAY (Legacy Staff) - "Find duplicates using only FamilySearch ID number"
(Legacy 8 and 9) I ran this search for the first time today. I am not sure why I never tried it before. To get to it go to Tools > Merge Duplicates > Find Duplicates and then select the "Special Duplicates Searches" tab. The second option is the "Find duplicates using only FamilySearch ID number." I ran the search and found I have 31 pairs of people sharing the same FSID. I can see how this could have happened when you consider the ability to auto match and FSIDs being merged. I printed a list of the 31 pairs and went through them. I left the FSID on the correct person and deleted the FSID on the wrong person. Some of the dups I could understand how a mistake could have been made but some of them were really off. I need to go back and look at the change logs to see who did the merge and then undo them.
