Thanx Cathy,
It does not appear to take into account birthdates either,
mainly name, it will bring up the exact name but totally different
birthdates, in my experience so far, as much as a 5 year gap.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] merge process incomplete
Gene Hutson,
As a Legacy tester, I'll check this out further. If the merge were initiated
from Merge - Manual Merge it is usually followed by suggestions of others that
probably also need to be merged - though it does depend on your merge criteria.
There are of course default criteria but you can adjust them.
I'm not altogether surprised that it isn't doing this when merging from the
duplicate dialogue that pops up when you're entering a new person as I would
expect the merged person to inherit all the relationships of the person you
merged into and that's my limited experience. I rarely add a duplicate and when
I do, I usually back out of that dialogue to do a wider check before using the
Manual Merge.
I don't think any of the merge criteria includes the marriage status of the
person.

And as a further to earlier, it does not go far enough into the merge
process by taking into account whether he/she was single and
never married, you can check the “never married” box and it will
still ask about duplicates, nor does it take into account death dates.

I have the same problem. And further, any notes that I have in both
memorials are not merged. I have given up on merging and do it all
manually and then deleting one of the memorials. It is really
frustrating to have to do it this way....

Hello Group,
LONGtime Legacy user here, one thing I have noticed with 9
and I just had it happen again, it may find a duplicate and it
will ask you if this is the same person, if all info is correct and
you go to merge the two, it doesn’t truly merge the 2, it may
or may not merge part way, give you one parent but not the
other, or give that person you just merged with 2 sets of parents,
one obviously the correct set then one set of unknowns.
In the case just now, it asked “is this the same person?”
I verify all info is correct, it merges and then the person you
were working with is now a ½ child to one of the parents,
makes it look as if the mother in this case had an unknown
marriage and now this child is the product of the mother
and the unknown father, whereas she should have been
connected to both parents.
Hoping this is clear and concise enough to understand.
Thanx,
Gene
