Jack,
Look at the criteria you see when you open Merge - Find Duplicates after
the Backup Prompt screen.
On the Normal Duplicate Search tab.
That's where you set criteria. It's likely the setting for Birth dates
that is stopping them being picked up.
The default settings will not pick up possible duplicate pairs from the
name alone if one has a birth date and the other doesn't - but you may
want to do that?
Click the Help button on that screen to learn more about the criteria.

I've used Legacy for around 20 years, but not exclusively. I have also
used at one FTM, Paf, Ancestry, but no longer. For the last several
years I've used Legacy along with, My Heritage and Family Historian. I
decided to merge all of their .gedcoms into one in Legacy, and while
it was fairly successful it was not perfect. The not duplicate list
contains many names that are in fact duplicates, How can I get those
pairs to merge? Is it possible to alter the merge criteria to avoid
this problem. I'm not certain why they didnt merge on the intiial
pass. Any suggestions or solution ?
Thanks
